maintaining momentum

So, you are a few days or even weeks into your new fitness regime. You have started to feel a little (or even a lot) better in yourself

By now I reckon you may well have had a go at pretty much all the machines and equipment in the gym. Or maybe looked at some of it and gone “Nah, not for me”

The idea of another treadmill session hardly fills you with delight any more and machines are, well, boring

Classes sound a good idea, but maybe that’s where you feel they should stay, as a good idea. You know. For someone else. Not you

Now when you hit the gym you look around and think “What the heck do I do now then?”

Soon enough you don’t even get to the gym. Well, it’s hardly surprising is it? You have no idea what to do when you get there, so why go

But there is another way. Set yourself a goal, a SMART goal, and go for it. If you waver in your commitment, keep the prize in mind

Sorted!

Really?

Probably not. The goal you came up with was probably decided because there was nothing else there so something was bound to be better. You may well have heard what someone else was training for and decided that’s what you wanted. Again, a few sessions in and you are asking yourself if it’s really worth the bother

Yes, we have all been guilty at some time or other, don’t deny it

So, how do we maintain motivation?

And commitment?

And momentum?

Well, let’s see if changing something might help. How about getting out of the gym? Spring is around the corner. The great outdoors beckons. Fresh air and new life

And how can you make this happen? Hiring a Personal Trainer (or Coach) who specialises in “at home” and outdoors training can make all the difference. He can take all the guesswork out of what you should be doing throughout and between your sessions, help you create and own really exciting goals, and provide you with varied and fun workouts. Your motivation will come from within. You will look forward to exercise, you will have a new lifestyle, a healthier lifestyle

And remember, hiring a Personal Trainer isn’t just for celebrities, it’s for people who truly care about themselves, who want to be the best they can be, and who value their health and wellbeing above all else

If this sounds like you then it would be great to hear from you. Have a look around the website, book a consultation, and start feeling better, right now

Let’s do this – together!
