Obstacles to your year end targets for your health and fitness are often many, some you can something about, some you can’t.
In the can’t category are illnesses and injuries, both often fall at exactly the wrong time just when you have started getting a run of form in usually!! These happen from time to time and we just have to ride them out, resting completely in most cases but we know we will come back from them.
Then there’s unavoidable family issues that have to be sorted before you continue, but even here if you get up early enough in a day, of course you can still get some exercise in. Stress comes to all of us, and exercise will often be the best way of helping with that stress, and not alcohol or excess food as some do.
Some things you can do a lot about are missed workouts or bad time management. “Something came up” or “i had to nip into town” or “it was too cold, too wet or too hot” are not excuses that are going to cut it with anyone, and are exactly that-excuses!!!!
Your level of desire has more to do with being in shape, and this is how people who run into illness or injury usually come back very strong after it. They miss feeling fit and energetic, they miss being in shape and feeling their body a lot tighter, so they will usually do anything just to get back working out hard again.
If your level of desire is low and you simply think by joining a gym, you are somehow going to get in shape with no real plan, then you’re wasting your time.
The bottom line is that anything can be overcome and these seemingly impossible circumstances should be always seen as challenges and not insurmountable!!! Life will never be easy all the time, or even some of the time. Expect stress and a stress on your time too, just make sure you plan your workouts into your schedule, instead of finding ways not to do them!!!
