Going through the motions when doing anything is bad news for results, enthusiasm, excitement, fun, meaning, being truthul or just about anything worthwhile.
Once you start showing up for your workouts and you just want to “go through the motions” and are not fired up anymore, then its time to have another look at your programme and why you’re doing it in the first place.
There’s nothing like that first time i meet someone to begin their training programme for the first time, and their enthusiasm and drive to want to do well. This is exciting for everyone because once someone is determined and committed to get results, then results are more of less guaranteed unless they are on a programme thats unsuitable.
You can have the best programme in the world, but if someone is not committed to getting results, then its going to be a long slow road every single time. This is why i like to come straight to the point these days, and cut straight to the chase in my first few meetings with someone.
Being interested in results and not just making friends with someone is the way to go, and i have to be able to feel i can upset someone if they insist on not doing the right thing.
I have to be able to tell someone that this or that is the wrong way, and we have to get on the right as soon as we can or the big result they hoped for in the first place is likely to never happen. Most people appreciate honesty and you have more of chance of becoming friends with someone if you’re truthful with them, instead of leading them up blind alleys!!
This is a great week to revive that enthusiasm and drive you had deep down when we first started, if you can get it back, its going to guarantee a few weeks automatically of substantial progress. Its time for fresh momentum as well as consistent committed actions, lets do it!!!!!!!
