It’s not rocket science but it’s certainly not easy
Hey I’m Dan, Adelaide’s newest CrossFit Affiliate owner. I also teach the next wave of up and coming PTs in Adelaide and have had many conversations with people about the true definition of fitness, and how it can be applied to the gym and in life.
I’m passionate about Mental Health and in preaching about the benefits of how CrossFit can improve our body and mind.
We are constantly faced with competing demands on our time, energy and finance. One thing should always remain as a priority, is our physical fitness.
In a 24 hour day, we may sleep up to 8 hours (if we’re lucky), therefore leaving us with about 16 waking hours to do, well let’s just say, “stuff”. Some of this “stuff” is important, however some is simply non-important and non-urgent that we can either put aside for another day, or drop altogether.
In simple terms, if we want long-lasting results, we must make the time in our busy week to exercise. Then, we must be prepared to work hard, stay consistent and sacrifice some of the good stuff.
At our gym, one of our core values is Commitment. We define it as making health and fitness a priority every day, even though it’s not going to be easy. Age, fitness background or injury have nothing to do with achieving our health and fitness goals. It’s more about our priorities and how much we’re prepared to put in the work.
Real change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and effort and it must be a part of who we are. We need to make time in our busy schedules to exercise and put our health first. Once we get to this point, we can give more and get more out of life.
Just remember this – In a 24 hour day, we may sleep up to 8 hours (if we’re lucky), therefore leaving us with about 16 waking hours to do, well let’s just say, “stuff”. Some of this “stuff” is important, however some is simply non-important and non-urgent that we can either put aside for another day, or drop altogether.
Summary
Regardless of our age, current fitness and health levels or background, we all can set aside regular time each week to exercise. Depending on our commitments and interests, this will look different for everyone, but we just need to commit to the process and find something that we can enjoy and do regularly.
Just remember, by putting yourself first and building your fitness, you are being a better person for you and for everyone else. This will eventually help you to give more and get more out of life.
