For some of you, the end of the week is the chance to get one more workout in before the weekend. You may then take the weekend off, or just do a low key workout and be glad to enjoy the time off.
For others though, and there are plenty of you, the weekend really is the time when you get your BEST workouts in.
I know some of you go on very long and demanding walks, enjoying the countryside and scenery which can be breathtaking.
Some of you enjoy long bike rides, and the weekend represents the only time when you have such an opportunity.
Whatever your way of staying in shape, i applaud your efforts and your courage to do so. We go on all the time about people who talk a good game, or are simply reluctant to take the plunge to get fit and healthy, so make sure you know you are one of the few who take their health and fitness seriously. You should know that if you are regular reader of this site.
This is also a time of year when events are popular too. From certain bike rides like the gower bike ride which has been and gone, the mumbles childline triathlon which we organise every year at the end of april, to the swansea 10k run at the end of september, these are all events anyone can take part in, and all of which are more enjoyable if you’ve put in a bit of preparation for. We have plenty of ideas on here for those sort of events, and how to measure your progress and combine your training.
I realised the other day also that we’ve already posted hundreds of times on here, so that means we are developing a library of information on here for you to use to reach new heights, to figure out what’s going wrong and what’s going right with your programme. If you’re struggling for motivation, then there’s absolutely tons of ways on here to get fired up about your training, your eating and ways on how to get your desire to improve to amazingly highly levels.
There’s also the 12 week challenge we had earlier this year. If you click on this on the right hand side of page, you can go back from day 84 all the way back to day 1, which charts a lot of history on how your mental state can be challenged over 12 weeks, and strategies that need to be used to counter the obstacles and challenges that always come along when you’re talking about a period as long as 12 weeks.
Some people stuck it out, some didn’t and hopefully we all did actually learn a bit about ourselves throughout that time.
The good news is that we will repeat that process in january 2011, and you’re all welcome to get in your best shape all over again!
Have a great weekend!
