Motivation and social support

As we all know, nothing comes to us by right.

We all have to work for it. Whatever in life it is, we have to get off our backside and do something about it. We don't just have things falling in our laps, so most of the time it involves us getting out and about.

I cant tell you how excited myself and Adam are about tomorrow. Our first bootcamp, and we have had a really good response. We have got an inspired programme all based around body weight, and sprinting. It will be great tomorrow, as there could be a bit of wind so real resistance...

But none of it will matter without you, so you need to be motivated otherwise you wont make it to where you want to be. And with motivation comes fun. You will see the progress you are making and it will spur you on, and it will be fun and exciting.

The other aspect is social support. Be it from your friends, family or loved ones. It is important that you have that balance. Do you think the likes of Tiger Woods, Rafael Nadal or Michael Jordan got to where they were/are just by just talent? They needed their families to support them and their friends to be with them all the way.

Another example is John Daly. He is now taking real action to become a better person and sportsman. Flawed as he is as a human, he is realising the need for action.

So when you do turn up tomorrow, make sure you tell the people around you and in your life that you are doing something worth while.

Until tomorrow, keep the faith, and I leave you with a little motivational video
