Recently, as I arrived at a Dawn PT session on a rainy, cold and very early morning I met my two work experience students who would be with me for the rest of the week. Rhi and Kara, their application to do work experience within my outdoor business was a pleasant surprise, one because I'm always happy when people take such an interest in health and fitness (even if it's just their own) obesity is a major problem now for people of all ages and applied knowledge is an empowering thing and two because they chose to do it at a time of year when people need to be dragged out from under their doonas, grumbling something about the cold.
Their classmates called them crazy (an endearing term that I seem to hear a lot) but they went ahead and did it anyway. It took them all of just a few minutes to get settled as they joined in the session and began with various body weight calisthenics to warm up on a halflit park in the great outdoors, from the very first activity we challenged their strength, endurance and cardio fitness after an hour they knew they had done a workout!
The girls rose to the challenge and worked the best they could on the day (as they did each and every activity I I gave them), the came into their time with me wanting to learn and do as much as possible so they could truly reap the benefits.
Age does not always bring wisdom that is a fact and I wish that everyone had the same ethic (especially when it comes to health and fitness).
Think about this for a second have you ever felt really unfit and unhealthy, not necessarily overweight just genuinely uncomfortable in your own skin. Now realising this have you signed up for a fitness class, Personal Trainer or just gone out on your own to do some quality exercise.
Whatever format of exercise you chose doesn't really matter, you have selected it for one main reason RESULTS! You want them, you need them you can't wait to have them but hang on you're getting puffed, you're hot, you're sweating, your body feels tired, it's cold or wet outside, all of a sudden your resolve starts to waver and then you , decide to either take it easy, cut your workout in half etc. This lack of intensity and drive, means you don't work to your potential and subsequently don't achieve your maximum results. Simple as that and the cycle continues.
Go out each day and honestly do the best you can, results will follow.
Be Unstoppable
