They say wisdom comes with age, and we need to learn lessons from our senior members.

“If i knew then what i know now” is a statement many of us have made, and we hear this mostly off senior members because they have most experience of life.

All of those senior members have realised through personal experience that getting your health right is vital.

How about taking that advice right now?

The best advice i have ever had off people with more money than they would ever need, is that HEALTH comes first. Anyone who has experienced ill health would swap all that money for just being healthy and out of pain again, i have heard this so many times that it really hit home a long time ago.

Learning to act on great life-changing advice at the precise moment you hear it is a valuable habit, so you never forget it.

So you maybe 71, 51, or 21, but heeding this advice will literally change your life. Treating your body with care and attention is the number one thing you should do, and sets the foundation for everything you want to achieve.

When you are healthy, you have much more energy so you can do more things for yourself, and just as importantly for others. Getting healthy is the least selfish thing you can do, you will always be there for others, you will get much more done and you can contribute to society much more.

Don’t waste another day, don’t play games with your health, treat your body with respect and use your healthy body to take you anywhere you want to go, and to anything you want to achieve.

We want to help anyone that has been written off, through injury, through lack of self-confidence or just doesn’t believe they can be great again.

We want to prove that we can get life-changing results each and every day.

We want to prove that exercise is the best medicine for physical and mental health.

We want us and our members to get to 90 years of age and have no regrets.

We want to stay committed life-long learners and pass that knowledge onto you all each and every day.

Caring about our members is even more important than training them.

We want to make a massively positive impact on our members lives and over-deliver every session.

We want everyone we train to say in 40 years time thanks for showing us the right way to do it.

Our greatest achievement will be to keep our members active for a lifetime.

We want to get up everyday early feeling excited we can change lives.

Show our appreciation and gratitude we have for everyone every day.

Amazing day at the gym today, especially with the break in the weather, hazy sunshine and the whole area looked magically better.

Wherever you are in the world, the day looks a whole lot better with the sun out!!People’s attitudes were sunnier too, i noticed the difference in shops, at the gym and out and about on the hill. It really makes that big a difference.

 

If you look at it rationally though, our lives haven’t changed a bit since yesterday or at least for most people. The government is still the same, the council still the same, our relationships the same, our friends still the same yet we are so much brighter today.

It shows the power of changing our state of mind, and using triggers to do so.

The sun and warmer air will have done it today, but exercise and eating right does it every day if we give it a proper chance. Rosemary Thomas, 73 years, told me this morning that she has so much more energy now every day, and would spend the rest of the day after training cleaning the house. That lady is ALWAYS on the go, and even she has seen a massive boost in her energy levels since she started training properly.

There are many triggers to change our state of mind but exercise is a guaranteed ever-present way to turn even the gloomiest of days into a productive, energy-rich and positive day.

When someone asks your opinion on whether to take on a new challenge, and i’m betting you are a well meaning individual, who only wants the best for people, your opinion is usually i would bet “to go for for it”, “to make yourself happy”, “to go and make a better future”.

Our kids are in a school Christmas play today, we wish them all the best, to enjoy the occasion and to savour the day. If they want to try new activities, we fully support them and want them to have a great experience out of it.

When it comes to ourselves, most of us short-change ourselves on our decisions because we often think “we aren’t good enough or our time has somehow passed to do it”. When opportunities come up, quite often we debate them heavily and not often back ourselves, the odds are against us we think and it would be “safer” to stay as we are.

There has never been a more dangerous time to stay the same. We all must grow to improve, we must embrace change fully or life never improves for us, however uncomfortable that change may be.

To make the most of opportunities, we must start to take them without questioning them so much, we must learn to have trust in what we are doing more, we must learn to trust the process more, we must learn to have patience that although the process is often longer than we hoped for, we WILL get there no matter whatever your goals in life, and all of this change is for the better creating an even better future.

Which part of your brain are you going to let win this week?

One side will say “today will be the a great day to improve, to not look back and to do all those things that will do me good”.

The other side will say “leave it it’s christmas, you have done ok this year so give in, eat what you want, don’t exercise and start your holiday now, after all everyone else is”!

Do you remember when you used to tell yourself that this time would be different? How strong is that motivation right now? I know many of you are very happy with your progress, but none of us are perfect so what more can we give to finish the year off strong?

We all need a daily “word with ourselves”. If we don’t, its inevitable we will start the long drag back to where we used to be.

If we don’t have a positive chat with ourselves, then it’s easy to give up, easy to become untrained again, our muscles will become unresponsive, our minds more acceptant of becoming lazier, we can tell ourselves different stories that being inactive is okay because “that’s what everyone does”.

Exercise is a lifetime thing we need in our lives full stop, we need to constantly work on it.

Eating healthy makes us not only perform physically better, its makes us feel better, think better and looks after our long term health.

Progress starts and ends with our minds and what we tell ourselves each and every day.

Talk to ourselves positively, tell ourselves we will handle all the challenges life throws at us, and actively realise that we have to work on ourselves daily makes sure we never take our health and feeling good for granted, we always look to get better and we always fight off the negative part of our brains which is always fighting to win every day.

We all have the power to keep the positive side in charge to make sure we stay happier, healthier, keep growing and become more fulfilled in life.
