FINDING A WHY TO TRAIN WHEN DEMOTIVATED THROUGH THE AUTUMN/ WINTER MONTHS -
Hi guys, YES it is tougher getting up early in the mornings to train when its dark and sometimes a little wet, when all you feel like doing is rolling over in bed and staying comfy.
Think about this though - Most weight gain and deconditioning of the body occurs through the winter period, then BOOM the sun starts getting hotter, the days become longer and all of a sudden you can't hid behind the clothes that you have been hiding behind for the last few months as they need to come off due to the heat.
Even though you may not be as motivated as when the sun is shining through the session, if you keep up with your training a couple of times per week to maintain your Fitness, Strength and weight, your in front as all you need to do then is a mini 6-8 week nutritional challenge to drop a few extra KG's ready for the summer heat.
Rather than packing 3-5kg, then trying to lose it and get fitter at the same time, then repeating the cycle year in year out and believe me it just gets harder each year.
If it's the cold your worried about, the Gold Coast only gets down to around 10 degrees on average which takes about 5mins to warm up and all of a sudden your in your T Shirt sweating it out through the session and are warm for hours afterwards.
WHAT TO DO -
Getting to the GET PUMPED workout is all you really need to do yourself, as once your there we guide and train you through the session so you don't have to even think about what you need to do.
HOW TO GET THAT EXTRA MOTIVATION THROUGH AUTUMN/ WINTER -
Have Goals -
Set yourself a physical goal to achieve through this 3-4 month period, (Strength gains and cardio/endurance gains) rather than nutritional.
Commitment to yourself Goals -
Setting 1 goal for yourself to achieve week in week out, which is turning up to your sessions 2 or 3 times per week for your personal commitment to yourself.
This victory of completing this, along with the endorphins released through training, will help keep you happier and motivated through the winter and BOOM when it's time for the clothes to come off YOUR ALREADY READY FOR IT:)
That's why at GET PUMPED we train all year round, year in year out rain, hail or shine so you can get to whatever goals you are after.
