Keri McKibbin Personal Training

Nobody should ever make you get fit and healthy. Nobody should march you into the gym and say “do it!”. It’s got to come from YOU!!! 

You aren’t “getting away with it” if you are eating rubbish food every day, nobody really cares if you have a “sneaky drink” most nights or takeaway for that matter. 

Nobody cares either if you spend most of your life sitting down and not active (sitting in your car, on the settee, laying down on the bed etc), because most people are concerned with their OWN life.

What I will say though that lifestyle will catch up with you. 

Being inactive, eating ultra processed food/ready meals etc will accelerate the ageing process, will bring a lot of pain into your body, will play havoc with your mental health, will seriously hurt your self confidence and self esteem, and the only positive thing that could come from all of that is you be forced to take action (sooner rather than later), to reverse some of those devastating life changing effects of living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Change is always possible and if you go about it the right way determined to take action continuously, all good things physically and mentally will begin to happen again, but the change starts internally with YOU really wanting to do it.

The coldest day of the year and a reminder of how building yourself up for winter can only be good for you and your immune system.

Self-care has never been so important. Many people complain about feeling rough and not feeling good, but getting a blueprint on how to feel good, how to perform at optimum levels, and how to rest properly to recover fully ought to be well within your grasp.

Think ahead to tomorrow, have you scheduled in your workout tomorrow? Or have you already let things get in your way potentially. 

You are much more of service to others when you are fit and well, so you must put that time aside.

 Chances are lots of others rely on you being fit and well so when they are trying to take that workout time away from you all the time, have a conversation with them and tell them how important it is to you, and how they will benefit too, better still encourage them to exercise and eat right too, when everyone is onboard in your household, life will be much easier and so much better all round.

If you promised yourself that this year would be different, this year would mean you are the fittest, strongest and most resilient you have ever been, then there’s still 10-11 weeks to make that happen and its plenty of time.

Health in your only true form of wealth because without your health, nothing else matters and nothing is enjoyable in life without it.

Make good on your promise-Starting tomorrow!!
