Sometimes it’s much better to have thunder than a gentle shower.

Monday is a typical example of that.

Most of you who get a workout in on a Monday always wonder why you are feeling so tired. The simple fact is that you have been probably resting up the weekend, you probably have eaten a little bit worse than normal meaning you have eaten “empty” calories devoid of energy that will make you even more tired.

So Monday is the time you really need to get going again, you need to set your stall out for the rest of the week, and you need to set your standards very high.

Get Monday right and the rest of your week will look great.

This is why our music is always like thunder, it’s always going to get you going, or shake you to your foundations, one or the two!

Monday is the day you need to be “all in” with your training. All in means you really give it everything, you get excited about your progress and you wonder how you can get even more out of your training.

With proper eating and rest, there’s no reason why you cant improve every single week. Stay positive and look how you can get even more out of yourself again.

Make Monday happen big time and feel the rewards for the rest of the week!!

Putting the hard in is not always glamorous, it’s frequently tough, difficult, character testing, sometimes you don’t really want to do it, and most people find excuses not to do it. These are the facts.

The few that do though are the ones who deserve the success. If it was easy, then everyone would be in great shape without sacrificing a thing. Unfortunately, it never works out like that!

The harder you work and the more you show up, the better results you will have.

The harder the work, the more you will want to eat healthier, and you won’t want to blow all that hard work.

The harder you work, the more you find out about your character. How deep you can dig when you really need it.

The harder you work, the more you can apply it to other areas of your life. Your work ethic will naturally rise to brand new levels. You work hard in your training, and your new found focus and determination spreads to all areas of your life.

I recognise the people who work the hardest now straight away, because they are the individuals who have changed the most in all ways. When you work hard, all your expectations in everything rise automatically.

Be prepared to put the work in, and look forward to seeing and enjoying the great results that it’s guaranteed to bring.

Once you first start training, usually you will start improving and you begin the process of getting used to exercising and eating healthy.

Then you start to develop some momentum, and your body starts changing for the better and you start to feel a whole lot better too.

There is no real reason why you shouldn’t continue to improve either, but some things in life come up from time to time and some of you will get distracted and take some time off.

Here’s some research for you-for EVERY week you take off from training, it will take you ONE TO TWO weeks to get back to where you WERE. These studies were done on pro athletes, so these are used to training!

So not only will it take you a while to get you back into it, that great feeling of exercising and eating right that you have developed will take a while to feel again too.

The key here is not to take the breaks if you can help it.

Even 30 minutes of exercise will be beneficial instead of skipping it altogether, make that ten minutes even-just moving more helps!!

Many of you go through stressful times, that’s life, but exercising will help with those stress levels, keep your levels of wellbeing high and stop you going through the pain of getting back into it again!!!

The tough times will become good times again, just stick with your programme and make it work at all times for you.

Achieving your goals doesn’t happen just because you just dream about it, talk about it, or even write it down.

It comes from the day to day decisions and keeping to what you said you were going to do, long enough to get to your end point where you actually achieve what you wanted to do.

We try to make you accountable for your efforts by our constant measuring process. This shows if you are improving, falling back and what rate of progress to expect in the future if you keep eating and training like you currently are.

All of this will be a proven way of success.

An excellent way of strengthening your longer term success is having an “accountability partner”. In life, you have friends, family and work colleagues who will often share in your experiences in getting fit and healthy. This is your “circle of support”.

If this circle of support is filled with negative people, who don’t offer support when things get tough and encourage you to go back to your old ways, then your chances of failure go dramatically up. The easiest thing will be to quit because these people usually never exercises themselves, never eat well and will want you to stay at their level.

This is why it’s important to have one very positive person at least who will go through it all with you, one person who has your real interests at heart, and will support and encourage you even when you want to throw in the towel.

They will offer realism when you are only pretending to try and you could do better, they will offer support to help make sure you actually make it to your training sessions, and they will celebrate in your success when it happens.

I find that if the person I train is living in a household where one partner eats and drinks rubbish, then that person will always struggle. The entire household needs to support each other, because if the supermarket shop is full of sugary and fatty foods, don’t pretend that those foods will not be eaten at some stage, because they will!

A healthy lifestyle cannot be a short term commitment, and if everyone buys into it then the household will feel so much better that it will never want to go back to the old unhealthy lifestyle anyway. Working as a team is always better than fighting against others who aren’t supportive of your goals to be fit and healthy.
