How do I get better results?
Here’s your Action plan!….
*DEMAND MORE from your body. When you’re grinding that bike or gunning up that hill – If your lungs scream at you, tell them to shut up!
Can you go higher?
Deeper? … Harder? … Longer?
What limits are you placing on yourself? Are they genuine or are they just excuses?
Do you want to walk out of each session feeling like you’ve done your very best?
Only you know when that is…
*Remember – Pain is temporary – Quitting is forever. You don’t want any regrets.
Think back to what your goals were when you started your particular program. Are you on track? EVERY WORKOUT COUNTS! Each time you stop yourself short – whether it’s 1 bad attitude day, 1 workout, 1 rep, 1 min – you’re 1 step behind in your goal. Make every moment an opportunity to use wisely and not waste it!
Calculate what % of your time you’re devoting to your health and fitness.
We all have 168 hours in our week to ‘spend’. How are you spending your 168? Is there any way you can sneak an extra hour or 2 in of activity somewhere?
Your mind will straight away come up with excuses why not to do things. Otherwise, you’d be doing them now. Get creative. Turn off the voice of doubt and starting thinking WHAT IF. Why not see how far you can go? Is it really that impossible?
Consider – Adding a 30 min brisk walk 3 mornings a week would rev your metabolism up for the day, give you some additional and probably well needed ‘you time’ and add up to an additional 6 hours of cardio in a month, just by making a simple and ‘do-able’ change in your lifestyle. Can you just for a minute take some time to really be honest with yourself. Adopt some WHY NOT thinking!
What have you been putting off?
When are you going to do it?
If not now, when?
Why not see what you can become or how much you can grow?
*Find at least 3 pictures from a magazine or the Internet that you will look at daily to help reinforce your goals.
Print out and put in at least 2 places – e.g. fridge, wallet, bedroom wall.
PICTURES ARE POWERFUL! This one task can literally change your thinking when you’re deciding what actions to take.
Focus on physiques that you would like to look like, or people that are doing things you’d like to do.
Every morning when I wake up, I look at a page of pictures I have stuck on the wall by my bed – they are of fantastic women sweating, boxing, running up hills and pumping weights – and they all look strong and toned. It makes me hurry to strap my Ipod on and head out for my run.
Enjoying your life through having the best health you can is a great reward for disciplined and consistent effort.
It pays off in numerous ways!
You feel energised, strong, alive and ready to take on the challenges of life!
