Keri McKibbin Personal Training

Remember the formula that has taken you such a long way in the past.

If you once felt weak, then exercise made you stronger, and if practiced regularly, made you feel so much better and ready to take on the world.

If you felt low on energy, then eating more natural, healthier food made you feel better and together with exercise, became a powerful combination for your everyday life. You started performing impressively in everything you did.

Remember the time you were heavily influenced by those who didn’t have your best interests at heart? And how great you felt once you let those people go. You started making better decisions, didn’t worry what anyone thought anymore and life was better.

It’s easy to lose track of this formula and not practice every day what you know makes such a big difference to you. To slip back into bad habits and before you know it, you end up back to square one feeling not so good again.

You would like to feel great again, but you keep putting off that first step again. It’s an old cliche but that first step back is always the hardest one.

We all now what we need to do, but there’s heck of a difference knowing what to do and actually DOING it.

Push yourself to get your trainers on again, start with a light walk, and immediately start the process of feeling like your old self gain.

 

 

What stage in the journey are you?

Are you just starting it and seeing some encouraging results?

Have you transformed yourself and set yourself brand new higher standards, and excited to go after them?

Have you done well initially, experiencing a blip but are back on it, learn from any mistakes you may have made in the past, determined this time not to quit when any potential obstacles comes long?

Whatever stage you are at, there is another place to go, another step up the ladder, another level of feeling better, and another level of satisfaction that you battled through often against the odds to achieve great things.

You know though that constant maintenance of your body is absolute key to making great things happen with your body and mind. You are either going forwards or backwards, there’s no staying still and hope to stay where you are because its impossible.

You can’t give “half and effort” just to get by, your body responds to you giving it everything and rewards you well, but never take it for granted. Stay ahead of the game at all times, and never tempt fate by slowing down your body to a standstill, because once you become inactive for a while, it’s exactly then that the problems and pain starts.

Once you slip back by giving little or no effort, your body will soon tell you. Your body will start to ache and give you stiffness or pain in areas you never thought. Your body WANTS to be active and is the number one way to take pain out of your body.

Your journey is always moving, it’s like a train that can’t stop, and along the way you must feed it well and keep your joints lubricated and ready to challenge it in all sorts of different ways.

Love your journey, love the questions it asks of you and love the intrigue of seeing how far you can go.
