I read a quote the other day that read like this:
"...Commitment is to maintain the mood you were in when you made the decision to commit..."
"...Commitment is to maintain the mood you were in when you made the decision to commit..."
What this means exactly is that if you can sustain the mood that you had the moment you decided to make a life change, you will successfully make that life change.
If, and usually when, this mood subsides is precisely the time the life change starts to be put down the pecking order of priority of things to attend to in your busy life.
Today when I left the house at 5:45am (yes AM), I had the slightest tinge of ice on my windscreen so I checked my phone and it said that it was a measly 4 degrees.
This almost made me go back inside and jump right back into our brand new king sized bed instead of going to make a living so it makes it an even easier choice to give your 6am training session the boot when you might not think there's much on the line whether you do or do not turn up.
Winter is a fitness killer!!!
Whatever momentum you built up prior to winter can be quickly derailed once the real cold stuff comes around which for us Melbournians has been the last 2 weeks.
I can't think of a better idea then to put yourself in the best position to succeed.
Make a list of things that are a pretty good chance of derailing your training output then also match that up with a point that fixes the problem.
Our boutique studio in Toorak Road, South Yarra has walls and a roof which has been keeping bad whether away for a good while now, making it an ideal destination to maintain your training output in all forms of weather.
If your mood has altered since you made the decision to finally get yourself organised enough to implement regular exercise into your lifestyle then a subtle change like moving indoors can bring the commitment level right back to where it was when you made the initial decision, where it should be.
To make this decision even easier we currently have a Winter Training Package that we have available from our main website that you should really get onto before we get rid of it.
If you're already a member of a gym or you have your own home gym then we've still got you covered as we can provide you with online training / fitness consultancy program.
Don't lose sight of your long term outlook this year like all the other years, use what we have to offer to your advantage.
