In the last of our four-part series on getting fit for summer, I focused on staying on track
There is no doubt that motivation plays a major role in whether we succeed or not in our training, fitness and weight-loss goals.
However, just as important as motivation is achieving the right balance. To keep on track – not just for the summer, but throughout your life – it is essential that you establish harmony between your working life, fitness training and healthy eating regime.
I don’t define myself by fitness and healthy eating, but I have found a balance – a balance that has seen me develop a shape I’m truly happy with.
From my late twenties heading into my forties, I’ve established a balance that incorporates long days working on other people’s fitness and health, while being able to enjoy life, family and food.
This is the true key to staying motivated. For most people, as I always say, there is only so much you can take on. You cannot expect to change your entire life to suddenly slot in with an unrealistic fitness regime.
Making small changes to diet and lifestyle are the key ingredients to long-lasting results. If you struggle to stay on track, setting small, achievable goals is a great way to stay motivated.
