This is the time to get out there every day and make a huge change to the way you look and feel.
For example, those of you who don’t like an audience when you train, there are far more opportunities now than in the autumn/winter.
I saw a lady who perhaps had 3-4 stone to lose power walking in the woods in the country park, and she seemed to having a great time. Perhaps, she wouldnt have done this if she had to walk on the main roads in the winter? This is a regular event for her now, and she seems to love her weekend walks, if she carries this on until the end of september, she should achieve some incredible results.
If you do a map search of the UK from above, you will see that there is more green areas in this area than nearly anywhere. For example, when you watch the opening credits of Eastenders, you will see the map of the east end of london, and there are VERY FEW areas of green on the map, so we should feel lucky to enjoy the surrounding area.
The wet week (like this week) is no excuse either, it may actually be an advantage.
When its wet and rainy, there tends to be less people out and about so this gives you even more opportunity to do your workouts without too many people around. When its sunny and hot, there tends to be stacks of people around, therefore making it off-putting for many. Also, when its wet, its usually a lot cooler, allowing for better performances and generally making the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.
Summer is a great time to practice and get good at whatever you want to do. The swimming pool is usually quiter so you have more opportunity to become a better swimmer.
There are more daylight hours in the summer so the excuses you may use in the winter won’t apply here. The summer hours are long but slowly getting shorter as of now, so its time to get out there and get a firm foundation before winter is upon us again!
The habits/foundations you lay this summer will make all the difference when you’re trying to get through the cold wet winters.
Lets get out and do something, not only to feel better but to shape your future!
