One common question i get asked quite a lot is “how long do i have to keep this up?”, or “do i have to keep this up for ever and how can i possibly do that?”!!
Okay, perhaps two or three questions there but they are more or less the same things. Some people don’t just get the fact that you must change your lifestyle for good and are often puzzled on why!
There is really too much thinking going on there and really not much “doing” going on. How many people do you know start fishing for example and buy all the waders, the expensived rod and tackle etc, and go out fishing a couple of times and never go out again.
Lots of people start any sport, any activity and never keep it up. Nothing wrong with that of course but when it comes to looking after your body, its best not to try and trash it too much, and its much better to look after it a bit better than you possibly do now.
Its like the person who keeps their car in pristine condition, shining it every week, taking it for a service regularly and then smoking and drinking every day, and taking no exercise and deriding anyone who does. Is that the meaning of irony i dont know!!
The fittest people i often see are the ones with the oldest workout gear, dont care how they look when they train but they DO care about HOW they train and the intensity they give to their workouts! Its this kind of no BS that i like in people.
These are really the people who DO, they get on with their lives, don’t brag about their workouts all day long to all and sundry, and usually are in pretty good physical condition.
Workouts are part of their daily life and very important for them to look and feel their best. Once feeling good about yourself is important to you, its then you will realise how important training well and eating well is to that very important goal.
You can’t plan every day for the rest of your life, you never know what is ahead, but what you can do is make yourself as prepared as possible for any eventually that comes your way. If you’re fit and healthy, thats a great place to be and gives your life solid foundation so lets get out there and do it!!
