Time is extremely limited for us all so you had better be making the most out of every workout you undertake!!!
Most of us never get around to everything we planned to do unfortunately, and a set of weekly workouts are definitely part of that category!
How many of you plan to exercise 4, 5 or even 6 times a week actually DO train all of these times EVERY WEEK?!!!
I think unless you’re very dedicated and have been training a long, long time, you are not going to appreciate how tough it is at times to get through a schedule such as this.
This is why i always try to emphasise how vital it is to train at least THREE times a week, and working your WHOLE body each time you train.
Forget all of those “let’s do one body part” excuses for workouts, they DO NOT work and never really worked even in the 70’s and especially 1980’s when they were the in fashion thing to do! The people who did make them work were usually loaded up on drugs, therefore creating an uneven playing field.
Every time you hit the gym, or you do a workout outside, or you do a workout in your living room, you HAVE TO MAKE IT COUNT EVERY TIME!!!
I guarantee that if you do make it count each time and really hit it hard, and try to improve nearly every time you train, you will get the results that most people tend to get after working out 5-6 times a week of training moderately.
It’s a myth that the more you do in terms of duration the better, this simply is NOT true!
It’s the quality of work that counts and nothing else, but you have better make sure you are exercising the minimum of 3 times a week as i said!
Its nearly the end of january, so the end of excuses is here too and if you’re serious, set yourself the realistic target of training 3 times a week minimum, hit it hard during these sessions and let the big results roll in!!!
Hi Ke, hope all is well, Hoping to get back to the Gym next week, have to take my mum on several hospital visits this week, and its Glangwili. Not doin much at the mo, except walking the dog when I can. It will be great to get back into some sort of routine, the tests that she has this week will determine the extent of her illness. Busy with the children also, they are a godsent at the mo, keep me occupied

Great to hear from you Cyril, happy New Year to you. I am the same Cyril, and your right once one thing slips its a downward spiral. Like you I want to get back into it and look forward to doing it soon. On a positive note, we do have the prospect of the weather getting better as the year moves on. Regards Jean
great to hear from you jean and it will be great to catch up next week. You are obviously going thru a tough time and hope some sort of normality returns soon for you.
its been too long cyril!!!
About time you got into it definitely so the sooner you get out and do something the beter.
with your dog walking, try to incorporate hills in your walks and this will create a much better workout for you in terms of your walk.
No time to waste, lets get right back in there and the DOING is all important as you say!
the weather is indeed going to turn jean after this very cold spell, and the nights are getting lighter all the time!!
