Total Fitness Training Tenerife

Mental Edge 19/03/2009

During my workout yesterday… I don’t mind telling you I struggled!

My bed was very appealing!!

And I was very aware of lacking my usual ‘fizz’  as I was plodding through the training session.

It’s not  that I wasn’t enjoying the session. But I found I had such a lack of energy and there was no one there to shout at me, so you know what happened… the little voices started….

When I talk about this, it makes me smile… I openly admit that I hear voices in my head… Didn’t people used to get locked up for that??

It’s not that you can’t do this, it’s just that you don’t want to…. I don’t have to do this as I am not overweight so stopping now isn’t going to have any major impact. I’m already fit and healthy so errr what’s the point here…

I suddenly caught this chatter whilst I was in the middle of my 5th or 6th set of 45 second burpees.

Burpess are a great full body workout

And suddenly I reaslied that whilst I had subscribed to this programme of intense training, because Jon Le Tocq had asked for help.. I hadn’t actually sat down and gone through the reasons why I WANTED to do this.. now we all know that if we don’t make a point of setting oursleves goals, then you never have anything to aim for!

So that was it… I knew I had to examine my reasons for doing this.  That was after I told the little voices to ‘shut the #@¿Ç up’ of course :0)

So this all ties up with some other work that I have started this week on my goals..

Have you got your mental chatter in order?? Coming this week …some systems on how to STOP the mental chatter and replace with with something useful and motivational. While you are waiting … have  a listen to yourself, you may be surprised by just how much YOU are holding yourself back!
