Getting an individual to put their health first is much harder than it seems, and i find that especially true in women.
Let’s face it, there’s usually a million things to do for most people before they feel the need to get into a workout programme, that’s a sad situation for most because unless you put a workout programme and a healthy diet at the top of your list of priorities, you won’t have the energy to keep going and actually do those million things!!
The reason why women in particular find it hard to do is because socially there has been general thinking in ways things happen in life. Without seeming sexist here, spouses, children, errands etc seem to want a women’s time before anyone else. This usually leads to time slipping away in the day, and this way the workout never ends up getting done.
As i said earlier though, unless you prioritise your workouts, then you won’t be able to solve everyone else’s problems because you are likely to run out of steam well before all the issues on your daily/weekly list are solved.
When i explain this to the individual concerned, and how important they actually are to others AND to themselves, its only at that moment do they realise that they have to give themselves “persmission” to get on a good health and fitness programme!!!
A good sensible exercise plan will always give an individual far more than the effort it takes to train in the first place. The first step is committing one self to stating, that’s all it takes and you’re off to a new beginning in your life that will bring endless benefits!!
