I feel really strongly about how the media 'brands' and portrays fitness as something that is borderline elitist.
Look for the authentic people in the health sphere, they will be the same
in person as on social media and will happily talk about their struggles.
I'm a PT that loves chocolate, eats pizza, skips work outs and has to work really hard some days to get out and do something. It doesn't happen often obviously however when it does I just go with the flow.
I just try to:
- Move how I want to move,
and try to do lots of it
- Eat REAL food
- Lift some things
- keep energy for fun times
Those of us at the beginning of their health journey are working much harder than those further along.
I see it in the face of the nervous looking new member
in our gym when I pop over and drop a 'keep going dude...you are putting us all to shame!'. This is all they need to hear and hopefully drives them onwards long past the time that I've forgotten I said it!
Never forget that every milestone you hit leads to an easier next one.
However small the steps may feel you are making there are changes afoot in your behaviour and body that can't be 'branded' or 'sold' as a testimonial.
Research these changes and keep a look out for them at all times....take a note of how far you have come!
We are rubbish at congratulating
ourselves and this is a game changer if you address it and start celebrating your wins for a change!
Your subconscious is always listening so sort that inner voice out!
Just talked myself into a extra long walk with the dog tonight...
