Correcting Mistakes....

'A person who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.' ---confucius



Training is sometimes hit or miss. Not all the time, or we wouldn't have the scientists and experts writing books on how much to lift, what routines to follow, what to eat, how much, how far to run..... but lets face it,



Training works best when the trainee is motivated and likes what she is doing.


Finding what you love is half the battle. If you don't enjoy the activity, the training session, you are unlikely to continue or finish it. This summer I was introduced to aqua zumba-- i participated/watched. Honestly, i don't get it. I shook my tooshie, moved my feet, high-fived someone next to me as I was like YAWN! Zumba is not for me. I would rather run, cycle, swim, or lift.

Motivating yourself to do the work is the other half.
This is sometimes the more difficult half. It is winter and it is cold outside! FREEZING! Extra layers required. It might take extra effort to contemplate the run outside. What about getting in a car and driving to the gym? or the thought of getting in a cold pool to swim! Seriously, it is cold outside.
What motivates you to go? to keep pressing forward? to push onward to your goal?

If you are struggling to find the direction and/or motivation and are haphazardly working out, you might never complete the objective. The year might pass without any accomplishment, without any forward direction. You need to keep the destination in mind. Working out without a reason is not training, it's just activity. (Activity is good-- but what is the overall purpose?)

If you are struggling, what are you doing to recommit to your focus? The mistake would be to do nothing.

Each day you have the opportunity to work toward your success. Each day is an opportunity to challenge yourself in achieving your goal. Each day is for you.

Seize the moment, challenge yourself. If you are struggling, reach out to me.... I will help you. I want you to succeed in 2010.
