Christmas has for some time, been one of those holidays that we tend to blame for some of our over indulgences. Be it at the staff Christmas party, while hoping your boss didn’t see what you and your colleagues got up to or was himself, too drunk to remember if he did see. Or maybe your indulgence, like mine, is eating far too much Christmas treats. I honestly think I eat more chocolate at Christmas than any other time of the year. It’s certainly true for mince pies; I can’t seem to get enough of them. For me, I know it’s nearly Christmas when my local supermarket starts selling those delicious mince pies. I’m sure most of you have heard the old adage ‘who ate all the pies’? Well at Christmas, that’s probably me.
Once Christmas is over we tend to realise the damage we have caused to our bodies and start to look for ways to undue said damage. I for one will probably decide I need a gym membership, which quite frankly never lasts long. It doesn’t seem to matter how motivated I am, by the end of February, I’m already coming up with excuses as to why I can’t make the gym. To be honest, motivation is probably the biggest reason that most of us don’t continue with the gym or some other fitness idea that we said we would try. We probably even spent a fortune on a new workout DVD or a piece of equipment to use at home. However, if you’re like me and don’t have a personal trainer living at home with you.
So, this year instead of buying DVD’s that probably won’t even make it out of the plastic wrapping, or another piece of fad equipment for working out at home, which will probably only end up shoved under the bed or lost in the attic for years. I’m thinking that if I want to make a change I need to join one of those fitness groups that have the personal trainers who are there to motivate, in some case shout at you until you move faster and work harder, which has to be better than going it alone. If I do get demotivated or bored, well at least I would be with a group of people who can help me get over that hurdle. Even if it is because of our mutual hatred of our instructor who keeps pushing us till we drop, the point is I won’t be alone and will be more like likely to succeed.
So, once again, if you are looking for such a group or are the evil sadist instructor of a group looking for some space to use. Contact me and I will do my best to help you find what you are looking for.
