The standard you have set for yourself will dictate how healthy you are, what performance levels you put in, and how regular an exerciser you are.
If you have a good standard of personal achievement, then you will never miss a session, unless you are ill or something big came up in your day or week that stopped you training.
If you have a lower level of standards, or don’t really care what you do, then you will miss numerous sessions, never really perform close to your potential and your achievements could be described as mediocre at best.
I write this on a very warm (for us anyway) and sunny Friday, and there must be a million reasons for you not to train today. Your decision today usually tells me what your level of commitment is really like.
Even if you are going away the weekend, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have put in a session this morning before you went, no reason why you couldn’t have packed your tshirt, shorts and trainers so you can do a workout when you are away, and this all comes down to what personal standards you have set for yourself.
If you are struggling for direction right now, and achieving very little, then you had better set yourself higher standards, and leave yourself no other option but to achieve them.
For example, if you want to eventually want to row 3600 metres on the concept 2 rower, and currently you go through the motions and are hitting just 2500 metres, then you need to try and start improving.
Ask someone who knows how to improve on the rower, commit to rowing 3 times a week, set yourself a target of improving 100 metres every 2 weeks, within 20 weeks you should be within touching distance of your goal, there you have it, within 4 months you could be a very decent rower, and as a results you will have lower body fat, stronger heart and lungs and the satisfaction you can achieve anything you set your mind to, then KEEP that standard in everything you do!
