Showing up or kidding yourself?

Now the muggyness has gone a little bit from the weather, hopefully all of you are stepping up your workouts?!!!

I admit I have been a bit sluggish for around a week or so, finding it harder to get the same standard out of myself. Those of you who have got through this week should applaud yourself getting through the hardest of times, and push on to new levels when it gets cooler.

Nice to see gareth davies posting in a previous topic, he is keen to get back into his training after a break, and that’s exactly what he needs, to show up and get back into it as hes a strong lad and can achieve an awful lot is he shows up 95% of the tine.

This is always the theme through the blog, the “showing up” is proving to be the hardest thing for most of you.

Most of you have had breaks, whether intentionally or not but most of you miss your training and when you DO get back into things, you realise how much you missed your workouts, and the great way the training made you feel.

None of us are perfect and doing the workouts are not always the first things on our minds but getting through them 50 out of 52 weeks a year would be a monumental achievement I can tell you.

We all look for short cuts now and again, kidding ourselves that there really is this short, easy and magical way to get into shape, but isn’t it the case that the longer we kid ourselves the easy way exists, the more overweight and unfit we become.

Workouts shouldn’t become like walking in quicksand either, you should always start off slowly working within your limits, and don’t try to be ultra-ambitious too soon. You need a good foundation in your physical condition before you look to break your outer limits.

So what’s your situation this week? Have you had a great week’s training? A fine week’s eating? Or have you given up your training for the world cup or wimbledon, or both even?!!!

Surely I don’t have to tell you that you can easily fit your workouts in around these great sporting events, if you cant spend less time watching TV or spend less time in bed and start getting a grip on what you need to do, because every possibility is out there for you, life is waiting for you to take advantage of the opportunities you have.
