Do you prefer LIVE online workouts or pre-recorded do-anytime videos?
🤔

Them: Doesn’t training and working on videos every day wear you out now you’re nearly 50, Julia?

Me: Not as much as having to pretend to be sociable, professional or interested in small talk would in another job. 😆

3 MENTAL TRICKS TO STAY CONSISTENT WITHOUT MOTIVATION 🤯

1. DON’T ASK IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

Your workout should be decided in advance, not based on your mood when the time comes. Don’t open a negotiation with yourself. Workout time = workout. It’s happening. No debate.

2. PLAN YOUR WHEN.

“I’ll work out three times next week” is an intention. “I’ll work out Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6pm” is a plan. Psychology calls this an implementation intention. Don’t be vague. Plan your workout for a specific day and, crucially, a specific time.

3. DON’T TRUST IMMEDIATE COMFORT.

Your brain naturally overvalues immediate rewards, so when workout time arrives it will tell you that skipping it now and doing it later would be easier. Maybe it would. Do it now anyway.

BONUS MINDSET TIP
The goal isn’t to become someone who’s always motivated. It’s to become someone who doesn’t need to be. That’s incredibly powerful.

Fifteen minutes with someone you love is infinitely better than no time with them at all.

A quick snack is better than not eating. A few minutes outside is better than a whole day indoors. A short walk, one chapter of a book, ten minutes doing something you love... Of course it all counts.

But that doesn't mean 15 minutes is all these things deserve.

The things that really matter in life are worth making proper time for. Cook and enjoy eating a good meal. Spend an afternoon with people you love. Go somewhere beautiful and stay a while.

Exercise belongs in that category too.

If 15 minutes is all you do, it absolutely counts.

But I don’t love the direction fitness has taken, where exercise is increasingly sold as something that should take up as little of our lives as possible.

Ten minute "snack workouts". "Fifteen minutes of fitness". "Let's get it over with.".... Squeeze it into a gap after other things...

Please stop to remember that your body is where you live your whole life.

It deserves more than whatever time is left over. You deserve more. xx

I love making workouts that are challenging, athletic and creative, with that wave of satisfaction that hits when you finish.

When it really lands, the feeling is almost cleansing, if you know what I mean?

We all train at our own level, but I believe a good workout programme should reward the time and effort you put in with results you can see and feel.

I think lately that’s too often forgotten in the current rush towards shorter, easier workouts. Making exercise easy to fit in is useful, but if our workouts never ask enough of us to produce results, we lose one of the biggest reasons to keep coming back - the satisfaction of seeing what our effort has achieved.

If that’s what you want, I’m here for you.

In case you need to hear it: It's not too late. Give yourself just 4 weeks of my workouts & you WILL see change. Link in comments.
