Keri McKibbin Personal Training

Being in a “reactionary mode” to your health because it may be failing is a common reason to start training. Being grateful for how you have come out of that situation should never be allowed to be forgotten. You have worked hard to feel better, to get stronger and to reduce pain in your body, and its important you never let anyone talk you out of feeling good and performing at a good level.

Exercising regular is about re-enforcing feeling good and making sure ill health doesn’t get a chance to come back again, you can’t do much without good health.

FIND a reason to get your workouts IN, instead of making excuses to avoid them because nothing’s too important to avoid strengthening your body, your immune system and your mental wellbeing.

It’s easy to get out of routine. Missing your workouts EASILY changes the way you think. You should be in routine but something comes out of the blue and causes you to miss a week of workouts.

All of a sudden the following Monday is not routine. You think “maybe it’s ok to miss this monday, after all nobody likes monday do they?!!”, I will try tomorrow.

Tomorrow comes and the temperature has dipped, its harder to get out of bed and everyone is telling you it’s easier to stay in and keep warm. The rest of the week is much easier to miss-“I will start next week”.

The week after now becomes a HUGE effort to get going, to get back in the flow, to get your mind right, to feel good, to perform anywhere near you best etc.

STAYING in routine is MUCH EASIER than getting out of it for all sorts of reasons. Monday is an ultra-important day, vital you start the week off right.

Culture is created by the example of individuals who train at our gym. If we have a lot of people who give their best, recover often against all odds, perform at a high level, give it their best when maybe mentally they are not in the best place, then the culture is bound to be at a very high level.

This is the responsibility we all have, creating programmes that push everyone to another level, putting great workouts in when it was easier to make an excuse to miss it or go half pace, living to a higher standard takes commitment and finding a way to make it happen continuously.

Relentless showing up means consistency. When that happens that is the sweet spot for great results and a feeling of wellbeing that can never be beaten,

Keep your standards high, always find a way to live up to them.

Vimeo which host my videos which we put on here have dropped the ball and been unable to host my video workouts, they promise the issues are being sorted so we should be ready to go first thing monday.

Apologies about the delay and I’ve been assured the solution is in hand.
