..than yesterday?
Is that how you feel and what you have achieved? I hope so and it's my aim for myself the people i work with.
Another step in the right direction along with enjoying the process is what it's all about.
Come on - we can do way better than just burning some calories, breaking a sweat, doing a few machine supported movements, mind-wondering to the tv, music, people etc while 'exercising'!
Let's set our sites higher and get into a far more rewarding experience. When was the last time you learned a brand new movement skill or tried a brand new sport for example?
Don't go through the motions, don't do what everyone else is doing, find something you love and if necessary find someone to help you make the most of the experience! Find your fitness freedom...

Big Event - Big Goals - Big Progress
Everything has been a bit manic after our successful charity night.
I still can't quite believe how well the evening went and how positive everyone has been about it.
Anyway - let's relate this to your fitness!
I've said for a while that having some big 'WOW' goals will probably add a lot of fuel to your efforts in the shorter term. As long as you can link that inspiration with action that is!
Once you commit to doing something bigger and perhaps out of your comfort zone, all sorts of things need to and will start to happen to get you there.
Just taking initial steps towards that bigger goal will likely give you great confidence and experience to draw from in the future.
It wasn't until life coach Will Perry made a comment that i realised this as related to running our our event. He said something along the lines of "It's always nice to see people doing something out of their comfort zone and growing accordingly".
This is exactly what happened with us and the event, and with people taking on those bigger goals everyday.
Maybe you decide to take an aspect of your training to a new level, maybe take part in some event or competition. For some people completing a month of Bootcamp would do this!
I've done a couple of more endurance based charity events in the past - the Three Peaks Challenge, and the Trailwalker.
Personally, i don't like to needlessly suffer, and i like to succeed. So a commitment to do such events spurred on specific training to make these events easier.
I'm not sure how you would do it any other way. Maybe neither of these is such a massive undertaking - you only need to walk after all! Yet many people did not get close to the end.
When you prepare for and achieve something beyond the normal for you - it raises the bar on what is possible for you - new beliefs are formed, maybe even new parts of your identity.
I read something recently about someone who really made progress with their training and the effects on their physique when they accepted the statement "I am an athlete". This was then put on top of the computer screen and anytime there were any doubting voices about going to train, she only had to look at this to get going!
Find something that would fire you up and maybe even re-set your beliefs in what is possible!
Be an everyday athlete!
