The other day one of my all time FAVE clients texted me the following:
"Having a low day - need you to yell at me to go workout today! Please text me in all caps :)"
I know you want to know my response............
Here it goes:
"COMMITMENT, you want results you have to commit! You will feel better after! I can't yell at you! You have to want it bad enough!"
The truth is that if you want to get in shape, if you want to lose your belly, if you want to tone your arms and thighs, if you want to have more energy............. YOU MUST COMMIT!
There is no real majic. All you need is a great trainer to guide you with your diet and give you effective workouts that will get you results without injuring yourself. But if you are not COMMITTED, none of this matters. It doesn't matter if you have the best trainer in the whole world or if you workout 10 times a week, if you are not COMMITTED to your diet as well as your workouts, you will never achieve your goals.
And you have to COMMIT to yourself, not to your trainer, not to your spouse or partner or doctor, YOU HAVE TO WANT IT SO BAD THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!
I thought of this at 4:15am today when my alarm clock went off reminding me it was time to get my workout in, even though I didn't have to be at work for another hour. This usually isn't a problem, but last night my darling little angel was not feeling well and I was up ALL NIGHT LONG!
I sat in bed discussing with myself whether I should get up....... I was so tired!
But then I said to myself "what are you even thinking about, you are 100% committed to this, you will feel better after".
Then I thought of my husband, he always tells people that working out for me early in the morning is "MY MORNING COFFEE". Isn't my hubby so cute!
I literally jumped out of bed, thanked God that I am blessed enough to be able to get up and get a workout in, and I had an awesome leg workout!
I did it! I was COMMITTED, and I followed through.
I felt better, I was proud, and I was ready to conquer the day ahead of me!
You see, it happens to us trainers as well. We are human, and just because we work in a gym doesn't necessarily mean that its easier. We still have to deal with COMMITMENT.
My hope is that next time you think about whether you should go to the gym for your workout, or take an extra 30 minutes to cook, or take the time to do your meal plan and shopping list, that you will remember that in order TO GET IN SHAPE, LOSE YOUR BELLY AND TONE YOUR LEGS AND ARMS, you have to be COMMITTED, and you should only hold YOURSELF accountable.
