Find your fitness

Find your fitness, or make it work for you.  

The importance of health and physical preparedness has never been more apparent than right now, right here in the midst of a pandemic. However some people simply enjoy exercise more than others do, and this is a really important but often under-discussed issue.

The gym isn't for everyone and nor should it be, fitness doesn't only happen in the gym nor does strength (some environments just promote better results). Now, whether you fall into the ‘I love exercise’ camp or ‘I'm not so much a fan of exercise’ camp, it's effect on your quality of life is evident. So as the title of the blog states, If you are one of those people who doesn't enjoy exercising very much, or even if you are, but the recent disruption to routine (gosh darn Rona) has made it more difficult than normal, there are some things you can do to stack the deck in your favour.

1) Make it fun (whatever that is to you).

2) Recruit some social support and exercise with a friend.

3) Hire a coach so that you can offload a lot of the thought required, and you simply show up when they expect and do mostly as you're told (shameless plug but we can help with this one).

Results don't come unless you do the work, but that doesn't mean you need to grind yourself into pulp and continue doing something you can't stand. Find a form of exercise you enjoy, and use systems to make it easier on yourself.

As usual Don't take life seriously, none of us are getting out of here alive.
