It's true, Ben Davis and I were at a 'Pamper' evening at St Paul's school in Burgess Hill on Saturday evening!
There were all sorts of other people with stands there, from massage, hair, nails, beauty, food, photography, alternative therapies.....Ann Summers!
Initially we were positioned next to the last mentioned company, and we had some of the tools of our trade as a visual aid, and they had plenty of theirs! Didn't know where to look sometimes!!
The event was a bit quiet in terms of members of the public, probably due to the fact it was a Saturday night, but we had decided to get involved at the last minute.
Sometimes you just have to put yourself out there, and this also relates to your fitness.
If you have decided to make some changes or take on some kind of physical challenge, it's worth putting yourself 'out there'.
It's worth backing yourself and raising the stakes to the point that others know what you are trying to achieve. Suddenly it's not just yourself you are accountable to - others start to ask how you are getting on.
This is exactly what has happened with our Bootcamps. The more we have put ourselves out there - the more people are interested to hear how we are doing.
I recently read about someone who gave up smoking by giving a business card to everyone she knew. On it, it said 'I will never smoke another cigarette'. The pain of being publicly seen to break this promise by people who's opinion she valued was a bigger motivation than any pleasure she got from smoking.
Back to the 'pampering'. I wouldn't say we had massive interest in our fitness bootcamps.
But to me, it all comes back to enhance your fitness, enhance your life!
Fitness feels good! And you carry it with you 24hrs a day.
If you are feeling better and more confident about your physique, then any other pampering measures will only be enhanced. Otherwise these could all be just short term quick fixes.
Achieve a level of feel good fitness that you can sustain for the rest of your life, and the chances are those beauty products will feel better, the hair cuts will feel more transformational, the massages will definitely feel better, those food treats will taste better and be guilt free.
And.......with or without any Ann Summers products how could transforming how your body looks and feels not have a positive impact on your sex life!!
