I’ve had a goal on my list since the beginning of the year, and that was to increase the amount of exercise I get in a week, in particular, to strengthen my core.
This was not happening despite wishing it were so. Imagine that.
Then my usual Zumba instructor had an operation and she was off for 6 Saturdays. One of those Saturdays we had a visiting lady do a Pound class.
That pound class opened my mind to new possibilities and reminded me that I had a fitness goal I’d made exactly 0% progress in.
Another gym in my neighbourhood opened earlier this year, still in the same network. So I checked their classes and phoned them to see if I could try out a Barre180 class.
I tried the class, loved it and have been going ever since.
But that’s not the end of the story.
You see, I’ve been in a habit where we, as a family, go to the gym together every Saturday morning for years and years. I love the time together, that we’re prioritising fitness and health, and I still (two months in) miss going to gym with them. It’s complicated, but basically, there is no kids’ programme at the new gym and in order for me to go with them on a Sat and still go to my new one during the week would cost me a lot of money, which I just can’t justify.
I’m trying not to focus on the missing part too much, and I’m going for more walks with the kids 🙂
And the best thing is… two of my jackets can now close and my flexibility has increased such that I can easily touch the floor again. Yay.
Over to you.
Think back to the goals you wrote down at the start of the year. Are there any you’re completely stuck on? Do you need to shake things up?
Do you need a goals re-set? There’s still time to make inroads into a couple of your goals. If you need a goals brainstorm and strategy session, email me and let’s set that up on Skype or Facetime.
