24 May “yeah, but no, but yeah, but….” Super Tips for when you feel stuck in the mud

Life can be jam packed and generally most of us feel ‘busy’.  At Full Flow Fitness we love to exercise, but we also love to eat food and sleep in. So we understand that most of us have a PhD in getting out of just about anything that prevents us from sleeping longer or eating more, so next time your excuse muscle starts to flex, reach for these tips:-

1. Figure out the problem – What do you really dislike?
   It may not be that you hate the gym – only that you hate carrying your gym kit around all day – or maybe you’re so hungry by 530 that the very idea of training makes you sweat – and not in the good way. List your obstacles and then at least three solutions for each obstacle
2. Try different/cheaper/more fun. Plan to do five new things in the next 2 weeks. Be random. Why not? Gym on Monday can be followed by skateboarding on Tuesday and dog/kid walking in Wednesday…
3. Fake it till you Make it– There are ALWAYS two sides to a coin. Try a running commentary of being deliberately positive.This goes something like “this is a nice blue carpet…how nice that the receptionist knows my name ….my usual class is full, well, thats annoying but I can now try something different…” If you are making honest observations you be shocked at how effective simply changing your perspective is.
4. The big 50
   List at least 50 reasons why your good health will serve you and your family. I mean literally 50, handy to read in moments of poor me. Keep it interesting. If you still don’t want to, then you haven’t tapped in and you need a longer list.
5. In-source AND Outsource
   Get it where you can – a motivating book,instagram, a training buddy, or announce your goal on Facebook. Sometimes we need help from within, but sometimes we need to outsource by telling the world or committing to a bigger picture like a sports event. For some fun #inspo click here
