How many times have you heard that! “I go to the gym sometimes, i go swimming sometimes, i go on my bike sometimes with the kids, i go walking with my friends sometimes”!!
Why does that word “sometimes” come up so often, in fact most of the time with most people!
So are all of those comments enough to get you in shape? Or into the shape you REALLY want to be in?
If you have been reading this for some time, you know instead of mentioning the word sometimes, i tend to use the word “consistency”. Sometimes in my book means potching, half-hearted, haphazhard, without much commitment. You know by those descriptions that if you do anything “sometimes”, you’re not going to become much good at it.
So isn’t it time you blew out that approach and stop pretending that your committed to your health and fitness. Can we stop it right there, finish it and cut the lousy attitude. That attitude may work in coffee mornings or the walk once a month brigades, but it definitely doesn’t work on here, where we tend to be far more honest and revealing on what REALLY gets you into shape!
Annette who joined last night wants to get into shape and i want to sincerely help her achieve that.
She needs to look at the exercise/workouts section and look at the ideas i have for inside workouts.
She needs to go into the eating/diet section to get plenty of eating ideas that can get her into seriously good shape.
Then, there’s a million and one blogs on here on the mind and motivation. You will know by now that if you’re not mentally with it, you’re going to struggle getting your workouts in, making sure you eating regularly and the right selection of food, getting enough sleep for example, all the essential elements if this time once and for all, you’re really going to get into shape!
Then its all back to consistency, you have to be doing all of these basics pretty much most of the time. The days of “sometimes” really have to go, and your workouts, eating well, sleeping well etc have to become your lifestyle from now on.
Annette, please send me your current schedule, in fact please post it on here, then we can talk it through and take it step by step until you’re back up and running again with some momentum in your health and fitness again.
Good luck and look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Ke, back on line again for now, done 1hr 15mins cycle and am goin to look up my indoor workouts and do one later. Eating back down to 1,500cals, not away until next Tuesday. Hi Cyril, are you back from your hols over the Gower, did you enjoy. Hope ur feeling better today, I am stiff all the time, must be my age, been cycling and got covered in MUD, very wet down there. I am trying to up my workouts to 2 a day, 1 out door and 1 in, would use my AIRSTEPPER but everytime I do it hurts my knees, so that is just an ornament now, maybe I am toooo big. What am I saying “maybe”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT
