Fitness Motivation: Everything Changes

If there’s one thing you need to remember where fitness is concerned…

Nothing Stays the Same

If you are fit today, it means zilch if you do nothing but lie in bed for 4 weeks – you’ll be as unfit as a lifelong couch potato.

And if you are unfit today, you can make great strides in the same 4 weeks and change your fitness level beyond recognition.

The only thing is, if you don’t start a fitness routine you’ll never get there. And if you don’t keep up a fitness routine, you’ll never stay at the level of fitness you achieve.

And just to make things more complex, you can’t even stay the same by sticking to one workout routine every day or every week – you have to challenge yourself in new ways and push yourself to stay at your peak.

So what this boils down to is that

you had better find a range of activities you enjoy doing – that make working out fun
view any routine you start as getting fit for life, not just for the summer
find activities you can do all year round or at least activities which you can do to cover all parts of the year
if you don’t like working out, just the feeling it gives you, get hooked on that feeling so that you feel motivated to keep up whatever you start
