New toy comes out to play…

There are two distinct groups out there, those that love to work out and those that don’t. Both groups actually fall under one easy umbrella – those that Need to workout! What do I say this? No matter what the marketing guru’s of the world might tell you through television, magazines and the great world web there are no short cuts to good health, energy and mobility. The good news is maintaining or improving your current health status is not difficult. There will always be two prime categories you need to focus on to be successful, they are movement (read into this word fitness, cardio, mobility etc) and nutrition. It is the movement part of the equation I want to touch on today. I love moving and getting active and my list of activities, walking, climbing, biking, swimming, exercise in the park etc etc is long. One of the biggest barriers to getting active and remaining active is boredom! The biggest mistake people make is finding an activity they love and then repeating it until all the fun is gone. One of the best parts of my job is keeping people enthused about exercise. I like to achieve this by continually changing what we do, this provides stimulation not only for the body (which is how we keep acheiving results) but also for the mind.  This is how I ensure fun in each workout, which defeats boredom and ensures ongoing high levels of motivation. You’ll see plenty of different equipment used to help us get active these days, one of my new toys is a 40ft long rope we have been throwing around in the park over here at SW6, London the last couple of weeks. Talk about FUN, talk about engaging so many different muscles groups! Once again boredom levels Low, Motivation HIGH. That is what it is all about. What do you think of the new toy? Let me know. Dan
