Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
You will start off most mornings full of enthusiasm, especially when you start your programme with us. This can soon wane though, and it’s up to you to put the workouts in to build that enthusiasm again, and eat right too.
I am not always ultra-enthusiastic waking up at 420am!! In the summer, I am a little better but what gets me really enthusiastic is my first run of the day. This automatically feel better and energised.
From that moment of the completion of my first run, my day always gets better. Its tough at the time for sure, but a fact that most people who don’t exercise cannot seem to understand is that you get MORE energy every time you train, and automatically feel better.
If I stayed in bed, I may appreciate more sleep but I would feel more sluggish all day long, I would struggle to get motivated to do anything and generally my drive wouldn’t be there.
My first daily run is my starter gun for the day, not only to stay in shape but simply to feel better full stop.
Face facts-some days you will feel better than others before your sessions, but every time you finish your workouts, you will feel a sense of accomplishment and be really glad you got your body going, and a great big shot of energy into your life again.
After all of these efforts, the best way to keep your enthusiasm high is to have great results with your measurements, to realise you have got a little stronger, a little quicker, have a little less body fat, a little bit more muscle, and you have suddenly started to feel a lot better about yourself all round!
We all have to try to constantly improve, and with this attitude we will always stay enthusiastic and optimistic about our health and fitness.
