Three Steps For a Better Fitness Schedule
Here we offer 32 years of joint experience condensed into 3 simply steps to improve any fitness schedule and enjoy permanent good health.
Our combined experience in health span's over 32 years.
During that time all new members to our gyms where taken through an initial interview or assessment which partly involved questions around their fitness program.
We looked at what forms of regular exercise they took, plus general questions about food and lifestyle.
The findings brought to light some very interesting facts to achieving and staying in good health.
When it came to knowledge in these three areas, we discovered that most people already had a good basic knowledge.
These findings proved to us conclusively over the years that wellness is more about doing than knowing.
Put simply people know what they should be doing, but in their lives found the application very difficult.
Today we all have infinitely more information available to us on wellness from a myriad of sources.
So why do we find that still most people are not living in a state of good health? What we discovered dealing with tens of thousands of people was that the dominant factor to achieving results was the mindset of the people involved.
When people are out their in their day to day lives, it's sometimes easier to let your busy life schedule take precedence over your fitness schedule.
The burger, chips and fizzy drink take priority over the chicken, salad and water.
We often justify these decisions in a variety of ways.
We often promise ourselves that we'll get back on track with our fitness routine tomorrow or Monday morning when we have got the weekend out of the way.
So what is the answer? How do we stop ourselves from pushing our good health into the future? The answer is to be our own health coach.
A professional coach brings people back on track and that's what we need to do for ourselves.
The professional coach in any field is always on the look out for new ideas and knowledge which will help their coaches.
However what is equally important is how they communicate those ideas and knowledge, it has to be done with emotion, dedication, enthusiasm and a call to action.
This is why each step of our "Fitness Schedule Action Plan" has a call to action.
But equally important is that this knowledge is communicated clearly and emotionally.
It's this emotion that can really affect results and outcomes.
This is exactly the same when we come to coaching ourselves in terms of wellness and fitness.
We must get emotional in our self talk, and wellness has to become one of our core values.
We have to elevate the importance of staying in good health in our own minds.
Then we can set about effectively using the knowledge we have to coach ourselves.
This will help us stick to our fitness schedule, but reaching inside and starting to take charge.
To be no longer dependent on encouragement from the instructor at the gym or inspiration from the article that promises sparkling good health in 6 weeks.
So this brings us to the next question...
How do we establish wellness as a core value to positively impact our fitness routine? We were both inspired to put good health at the top of our list through events that took place in our lives, as told in our book Strength to Strength, which you can get at Amazon.
But if you haven't had these life changing experiences, there's three steps you can take to improve your fitness schedule: 1.
Ask yourself better questions.
Don't ask "how am I supposed to fit exercise into my daily routine?", but ask yourself "How will I feel when I've lost my target 6lbs?" This subtle change to focusing on the positive aspect of a fitness program will make all the difference.
2.
Get emotional.
Communicate clearly and emotionally to yourself.
Focus on how you'll feel if you let yourself down versus how you'll feel when you succeed.
Get a tear in your eye if you have to but speak to yourself like you mean it.
3.
Use your creative imagination through visualization.
Napoleon said "Imagination rules the world".
Through picturing you can rule your world when it comes to encouraging yourself to take action and apply the step of your fitness schedule.
If you can't imagine it, get some pictures from a magazine of what you want to look like and put them where you can see them regularly.
Soon they'll be in your head where you will be able to visualize yourself in that situation.
These 3 steps can make a difference.
You might have the fitness program already, but by adding these, you'll develop a better Fitness Schedule and soon reaping the rewards.
