The challenges of this week have been tough, but it comes down again to your mentality if you will overcome them or not.

All sorts of studies on the body show you are either in the mode of getting better (stronger, faster, more flexible, better balance, etc) or you are regressing (getting weaker, losing balance, getting stiffer and pain creeping in your body etc).

The nature of this month’s programme is to keep you n the ‘positive get better’ camp and make big gains in every area.

Showing up at least three times a week will guarantee you are improving, because your body will naturally respond well to every time you visit the gym.

Staying away from exercising will put you firmly in the regress, fall behind camp, as your body loves to stay strong and without the necessary stimulus, will have no reason to fight to get stronger, faster, better balanced etc.

You won’t feel like doing every workout, especially just before, but once you do, after ten minutes your mind will remind yourself why you exercise regularly and why you challenge yourself in such a purposeful way.

It’s easier to stay in the groove, have momentum on your side, rather than to constantly stop start, which is always the most mentally testing and toughest way ever to keep fit.

Big storms for the north of the country yesterday, roofs can be blown off and great damage can be done, once one tile goes, roofers will often say they can all go in very high winds.

This is why culture at the gym is so important, we have another highly demanding programme start this week.

It needs concentration, a lot of effort and most of all needs to be approached with a good attitude.If we have one negative person, then can affect others and it can spread.

This is why it’s vital we have so many good characters at the gym who never moan, never get overwhelmed and approach the task at hand with courage, enthusiasm and a will to overcome anything over the next month.

This positive “let’s get stuck in” attitude can and will beat anything put in front of it, with the vital added benefit of lifting others’ spirits along the way.Our programmes build not only strong bodies but strong foundations in all areas, including strong minds capable of getting through any storm.
