Just How Committed are you?

Having just finished this morning’s boot camp where it was wet, cold and windy I sat down to my morning porridge with blueberries and seeds, my cup of green tea in hand I started to think, why is it that these people get up, whatever the weather to come along to boot camp?

At this time of year, with Christmas and new year just around the corner where many would just stay in bed with the mindset of ‘I’ll wait until the new year, doesn’t everyone put on weight over Christmas?’ and give up being kind to their bodies! My campers are getting up to come and push their bodies to the max, not only the boot campers but my Personal Training clients are also continuing with the programmes I have set for them and getting great results.

Why is this? What is it that makes these people stick to a healthy diet and push themselves through their training sessions? COMMITTMENT that’s what, these people have an end goal in site and they are working hard to get there, they’d rather feel fantastic this Christmas and New Year having worked their A**es off to get there. I guarantee they have their friends, family or co-workers asking why the hell they are doing it, trying to tempt them to have ‘just one chocolate, one won’t hurt, its Christmas!’ (of course this kind of thing happens all year round for some of them!). By breaking away from the norm of what is ‘shut down’ until the New Year these guys are seeing consistent results with their fitness and while others are gaining these people are dropping pounds and inches.

Ask yourself, are you one of the groups of people who give up healthy eating and exercise at Christmas all to start again in the New Year? Or are you one of the few people that are dedicated to their health and well being, instead of feeling low and lacking in energy over these cold winter months you’re beaming with energy, feeling fantastic and seeing great changes to your body as a result of your hard work? My boot campers and PT clients are!

Why put off until the New Year what you can do now? When you put things off you set yourself up for disappointment, you start in January with a well meaning ‘I’m gonna do this’ come the end of January most of you have given up because you’re not seeing fantastic results. Don’t waste your money on Gym memberships that can’t guarantee results, get a training partner or a Personal Trainer that your accountable to, set yourself goals and work hard to achieve them goals or why not join a group fitness programme that can guarantee you fat loss results, whatever it is, do it NOW!

As Thomas Jefferson says “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

Wishing you a very happy Christmas and New year, stay fit and healthy!
