What’s Your Turning Point?

By | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Training, Uncategorized | No Comments

One of the things about having our Personal Training Studio situated on a busy main road… is that often people have to pass us twice a day to get to and from work.

So many times over the last 10 or so years when our clients first start training with us, they say “I have been driving past your studio thinking I really should give you a call for 2-3-4-5 years now!”

We are always fascinated to ask: “What was the turning point?”

What was the deciding factor that made them say “THAT’S IT! I’m going to take action NOW!”

Often it is nothing major… they just wake up one day and the time is right. Or rather, they are sick of doing nothing and can’t stand not to for one minute longer!!

Have you ever felt like this?

Are you waiting for a trigger to spur you into action?

Maybe you go try on some new clothes and catch your full reflection and realise that there are a few extra layers of unwanted body fat lurching around…

Maybe you go to put on your favourite pair of jeans and realise you can’t squeeze into them anymore…

Or maybe like many, many before you wake up and it’s SPRING / SUMMER time and it’s time to peel back the winter layers and you get a bit of a shock!!

What ever the turning point is, although it is usually uncomfortable, it is a vital part of achieving your goals.

Almost everyone has a ‘threshold’… For example, for some people it’s 2-3 kilos and they feel uncomfortable. For many it’s 5 kilos. For many more it’s the 10 kilo mark… and then above and beyond until they feel uncomfortable.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, it is about what YOU feel like within your own skin.

You want to feel healthy, vibrant, energetic and within a healthy weight range for your body.

And when you don’t, how long are you going to live in denial for before you take action???

So if this post resonates with you, we challenge you: Do something TODAY that you will thank yourself for TOMORROW. Go for a walk / jog… Do a mini home circuit of pushups, squats, crunches, or walking lunges… Drink lots of fresh water to cleanse your system… Chuck out or give away all of the junk food in your pantry. Do something to break the habits you have gotten into, and start to create new, empowering ones so that you feel great again.

And if you would like professional help to achieve your goals faster and within a specific time frame, give us a call now as that is what we specialize in. We would love to help you and we are always here for you to help you achieve your goals!

Always remember, the decisions we make have a ripple effect in our entire life.

When we choose to make healthier choices, our lives keep getting better and better… And when we don’t, it is very easy to fall down the ‘downward spiral’…

All it takes is one decision to change your life.
