Keri McKibbin Personal Training

In my week I hear many things off many people, some say they get encouraged by others, some routinely get put off by people around them, some are too scared to do “too well because so and so may say something”!!!

The moment you STOP caring about what other say, that’s the exact moment your progress accelerates out of all recognition because there’s nobody holding you back anymore.

Waiting for someone’s opinion on how well you are doing never works well, as you are waiting for someone’s approval to go for the things that you really want in life.

There aren’t many people always that want the best for you, so hold the  positive, encouraging people close to you and appreciate their support and value their opinion. 

Value the ones that push you to become better too, If someone complains that they have to work hard in the gym I reply “if I didn’t care, I wouldn’t bother pushing you, we want the best for you, and hard work will take you far closer to your goals than giving you an easy time every time”.

Becoming healthy, increasing your sporting performance, recovering from injury all require you to be very careful who you let into your circle. If everyone around you is negative, then you will eventually lose any self belief you ever had and quit. 

Weed out the “energy vampires” the ones that suck the life out of you, the ones that don’t believe in you or never rated you and your talents,

Surround yourself with positive influences, the ones that not only encourage but also the ones that will offer an honest assessment of where you are, and give you a roadmap to where you really want to be in life and support you all the way.

Not enough time?? It happens more than you think but we offer solutions, you can do our new online workouts every day or you can do an abbreviated version of your normal workouts but STILL based in science. 

I am in the process of creating shortened versions of our workouts for those who can’t train with us for whatever reason, and in balance for your whole week. 

We already have workout videos for those where distance is a problem but these will be to the point, hit your body from all different angles but done in record time.

This still keeps you in the system we do things and keeps your body is great shape because you will be expected to reach high standards (you will still stay focused on competing against yourself).

Theres nothing like being in the gym, being in the atmosphere and energy, but any kind of effort in getting through these videos will give you a lot of return on your small time investment that fits in well with your schedule.

You need to wake up with hope every day, hope that things will get better, and hope you will keep you going even when things remain highly uncertain, things may seem darker than you hoped for, but that hope will help you continue.

I’ve seen many people who had seemingly little hope in their lives stun me by steadily getting stronger and much more mobile, simply by the process of showing up and doing their best. 

I’ve seen others too with everything going in their favour NOT try, not take action and lose hope in themselves, that can happen too. They lost hope and gave up on themselves and chose a different lifestyle.

Hope is your secret weapon, and once you combine that with action, then it will be a powerful combination that will give you huge results in all areas of your life.
