The title of this one threw me a little, because I am one stubborn woman when it comes to me getting what I want, and pretty much, not much is going to stop me.
I thought though, for a very long time at my history of sport and exercise (it's a long history) and came up with the following as examples of what has held me back with my goals in the past.
So......this is the BIG one, the one that very active people can't help but suffer from at times, and that is INJURY!
I've suffered small breaks of toes etc.during Kickboxing, nothing that held me up too much, but I do remember when I was training on the coastpath for my 103 mile run, one Sunday with my friend and I skidded on a tree root and turned my ankle over. My friend is a hardcore policeman and didn't want to hear my moans about the pain I was in and made me keep running. Eventually he realised that I had really done some damage but by then, it was too late. I had a really bad sprain that kept me off training for weeks. It was awful.
At the same time the other thing that has prevented me from running also hit.....ILLNESS, I got FLU!
But, funnily enough, the enforced rest I had by having flu for a week gave my ankle good quality time to heal up, so it was probably a blessing in disguise!
I guess a problem that lots of us have is TIME, or a distinct lack of, but I have recently found a way with clients that they can train in just 7 minutes if that's all they have. It's a new approach, I always thought that 20 minutes was a minimum, but, pushing it for 7 minutes is a great way to do something, so really, there are no excuses.
What has kept you from being active? Can you share similar stories, or are there other reasons that you have?
So.....you have 7 minutes.....get out there and do something!
See you next week.
