One of the main reasons I decided to start a blog was by request of friends and family who said flat out you need to write this stuff up, its very motivational.
I guess when it comes down to anything in life I have always had drive, but what I did not notice was how I was able to motivate others with that drive.
My motivation came from obstacles that were put in front of me. I thrived on how hard something was going to be or how uncomfortable it made me feel. It was to always prove to myself that if I really wanted something I could get there. It may have not been quick, it sure wasn't easy, it actually may have turned people away from me, but I had that goal and I was going to get it and if I didn't the first time I wasn't going to stop until I did or had to.
Some of us are just mentally built this way and fortunately I am one of these people.
Motivation is defined as the act or the instance of motivating, or providing with a reason to act in a certain way; having a strong reason to act or accomplish something.
When it comes down to fitness one of the toughest things to overcome is commitment to the goal. We all have a certain goal in mind but how many are strong enough to reach the finish line, this is where that motivation comes in.
There are so many days that I walk into that gym and ask myself why I am there, its human, but in hindsight I already accomplished one of the biggest steps, just being there. Most people do not realize the importance of this, being there or starting that run, walk, bike or any other activity is a goal in itself. You committed to getting to that point for a purpose, so why stop there?
You ever walk by an older women or gentlemen who looks fantastic or see them at the gym every time you walk in? I know I have, and boy does that motivate me. It motivates me for a couple reason, one it shows me that its possible to stay fit no matter what age you are, two it shows me drive that I want to continue to have.
I had a lifting partner for 8 years that actually motivated me more then he knew, he was always there and ready to go, positive attitude every damn day and never complained about anything. He still goes at it every day, why, because he has a goal, it may not be to get huge, ripped up or even a bodybuilder, instead its about his overall health and feeling good about himself.
I have plenty of friends that work their asses off outside of the gym, who have children and have very little time to themselves, but they find the time, it may not be as much as they want it to be, but they do what they can. I am so motivated by them. The ability to juggle so many things but find a way to take care of themselves as well.
Motivation is contagious if you let it be.
I try and tell people that it isn't about how much weight you can put up, how fast you can run, how athletic you are. Its about finding you and what goals you want to reach and how you will get there.
When I train people I have them tell me what they want out of this time and make it clear to them that it is not going to be easy, but if they really want it then you need to put the time in and hold onto that reason.
I am beyond flattered when people ask me for advice/help/ideas. I love sharing all my personal knowledge, helping people get back on track and then being able to see their smile when the goal is accomplished.
Well, what is your motivation? We all have that something, so use it.
