TM W#20 Feb 15th 2012

A NEAT ATTITUDE - Thanks BOB

A little over a month ago my cousin approached me wanting to get fit for  his trip to Europe, shed 10 plus kilograms and feel more confident with his body. We will call him BOB to keep his name private. Well BOB has turned up to his 3 training sessions with the most positive refreshing attitude. He is willing to try new things, mimics my movements and brings an intensity that will generate the results he desires. Every week is different, we do boxing, sprints and KB squats 1 week and another week we do push ups, sit ups and lunges for time. That is just an example of the last 2 weeks. What I have noticed in life in general, as people get older they tend to get set in their ways and close themselves off from new things. What inspires me most about BOB is that he is so ready to move towards his goals. BOB brings the attitude of an athlete, the intensity of an athlete and chooses to have fun doing it. As a trainer I love to coach, but I also get to learn a lot from what makes a successful athlete.

Lets all take a leaf out of BOB's book and bring the attitude and intensity of an athlete to our Personal training this week.

Michelle Bridges about motivation on SEN radio 1116 AM ... "Motivation is the biggest (load of rubbish) in our industry...it's habits that matter and doing it ever day like a shower"

Today's shower is...

21-15-9

Overhead squat @ 50kg
Chest to bar chin ups

How do you feel about training? I believe you learn to love it but like alcohol...it's an acquired taste. 
Stick with it and tell me your thoughts.
