Starting is the most important part, but so is making small improvements along the way. All of this comes with showing up regular, and then we are able to make it work in a big way. First time is hard, second time a bit easier and after that everything hurts a little less and you start feeling good full stop.

Give your body the opportunity to be in a great place by constantly showing up and looking how you can improve. It will initially feel hard just showing up, but the true magic comes when you end up in a flow and get strong momentum behind you.

A bad back doesn’t have to be a bad back forever if you get down to the work needed to get strong again.

A bad hip can be developed into the strong point it really is on your body, once the pain disappears and you actively strengthen it.

I have never met anyone who can’t make small improvements session to session, not once. Often the things that hold us back are in the place between our ears.

Getting our minds right makes the difference between a state of constant optimism or a constant state of running ourselves down, which can be a disaster for our progress.

We find in our lives that there’s always people willing to run us down, and the last thing we need to be doing is running ourselves down. Practice talking your chances UP, or the willpower and motivation to carry on can be slowed right down.

Look for small changes regularly, this strategy always bring the massive, positive and overwhelming changes over time.

The mornings and evenings are vital periods when we need to get going, sometimes when we don’t even feel like it, but we will definitely feel much better afterwards.

I was fortunate as a young child to be around the gym environment between 4pm and 6pm, soon learning that this time most days was meant for exercising or at least doing something.

I haven’t spent too much time in the house tea time in my life, so it’s difficult to imagine what not doing much (physically) at that time is.

This is called a pattern in life really getting engrained in me. I did it so much, i did not know or do not know any different and it feels strange if i don’t do it.

Forget 21 days to form a habit, NINE months of continuous exercise is what studies show to be the stage where individuals are likely to make exercising a long term lifestyle choice they are likely to stick at.

Many of you have passed that stage and continue to make exercise a huge part of your life as you know the great associated benefits. Some of you have yet to get to this stage so you can see how vital it is, to make sure you develop exercise as a way of life, and a pattern of living that gets engrained in you too.

Many spend certain times of day watch TV, sitting around talking with their friends drinking coffee, some go for walks, some spend that time with reading, whatever you want to do is great but making a set time for exercise and sticking with it is absolutely vital to you becoming a long termer or just someone who comes and goes, never discovering the true value of being fit and active has on your life.
