As fitness professionals we know that when our clients miss even just one workout that it is much more than just missing one workout.
Here is how we explain to our clients why NOT missing workouts is so important!
- When you miss a workout, you don’t just stay at the same level you were at – you actually take a few steps back.
- Every time you miss a workout, you have done something to strengthen the habit of not working out.
- When you’ve made the promise to yourself to exercise so many times per week and then you break that promise, you start to lose trust in yourself.
- With each missed workout, you start to lose self-confidence and begin to question whether you can actually stick with it at all.
- A missed workout fuels self-doubt and makes that negative habit stronger.
- Miss enough workouts, and eventually that negative habit of not working out will replace the positive habit of exercising that you have worked so hard to cultivate.
- Every time you fail to do the right thing, you fuel the habit of doing the wrong thing.
So the next time you’re trying to justify pressing the snooze button and skipping your workout, or working through lunch instead of taking a walk break or heading right home after work instead of stopping at the gym, just don’t do it.
Don’t even think about it. Don’t even allow yourself the opportunity to talk yourself out of doing what you know you need to do to be at your best.
Just remember that you’ll feel like a million bucks once you’re done. The real challenge for most people is not the workout itself, but actually overcoming the negative thoughts that try to sabotage very good intentions.
“The greatest irony of our physical life is that when we are young, we are willing to sacrifice every bit of our health for wealth, and when we grow old, we are willing to sacrifice so much of our wealth for just one day of health.” Don’t let this happen to you. The little things in life are actually the big things and the quality of success that you will experience in your life ultimately depends upon the tiny choices you make every minute of every hour of every day. It’s the small daily acts and habits that define how big we end up living.
Exercising regularly, eating well and taking the time to relax and nourish their bodies will make your clients feel happier. It will provide them with more energy than they have ever known. It will give them greater stamina and mental toughness and make them clearer, stronger thinkers. It will make them more patient and loving. There are 168 hours in a week. Surely each and every one of us, regardless of our hectic schedules, can carve out three to five of them to care for our bodies and work on mastering our physical state!
