Let's talk motivation. We cannot rely on motivation to get us started or keep us going. Some might even argue that it doesn't exist. Taking action is the best way to feel motivated. It seems backwards, I know, but we don't always feel up to doing the things that will help us in the long run. However, when we do take action, we feel great. My DMs are always open if you wish to seek support. More than happy to advise. Take care and be safe. #emergencyservices #health #police #fitness #fitnessmotivation #policefitness #personaltrainer #fitnesssupport #fitnesscoach #healthier #policesupport #thinblueline #policeofficer #motivation #takeaction

Are you relying on motivation to get you going? Something that I get asked a lot or get told a lot is I haven't got the motivation to get going. And can you help me with motivation? And unfortunately, motivation cannot be relied upon. It could argue that it doesn't actually exist. It's almost sort of the byproduct of the actions. So it's kind of reverse. You have to do the thing in order to fill the motivation, which is obviously. Backwards, you think that are needed to have some more motivation before I create the action. So if I'm going to go for a run, I need to feel motivated to go for the run and I do the run and I feel great. We're in reality actually, and this is certainly true with me. If I want to go for a run, I very rarely will feel motivated before going for the run. But what gets me going is the fact that after the run, I'm gonna feel really, really good. I'm gonna be pleased that I've done it. I'm going to thank myself later on in the future that I've done it, kept myself in shape. But also because your brain releases those hormones, endorphins, so you feel, you feel pretty good after exercise. So I really wanted to say is please don't rely on any kind of motivation before you take action with exercise or anything like that. Just try and do it. Just take the action, just goes to the gym, go for the run and go for the walk, get yourself outside and then you'll feel a lot better for it. Remember those feelings and that will kind of give you that I suppose, that motivation to get going. But remember most of the time most of the fittest people and most active people out there. You're not feel like going to the gym or training, They do it because they know they have to. They do it because they make them feel afterwards. They know it's good for their body, good for their mind, and it just becomes ingrained in part of your lifestyle. Motivation is unreliable, so don't wait for it. Anyway, I hope that's helpful, have a great day and keep safe.

Resistance training is for EVERYONE! Its not all about lifting heavy weights and building muscle. And while that’s certainly the fun side of it, it is only ONE side of it…. It can always be adapted to suit anyone and meet you where you are currently at. Resistance training offers options to progress us from pain and poor movement, back to playing sports and the activities we love. The key is PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD and training in a smart and sustainable way. If you’re interested to know more about how I can help you, then leave me a DM and let’s talk more. There’s no obligations, I am here to help. As always, play the long game. #resistancetraining #longevity #health #fitness #wellness #fitnessover40 #movementismedicine #onlinecoach #personaltrainer

Exercise with Support and Community 👟 Exercising with others can make a world of difference in your fitness journey. Whether you’re joining a group class, working out with a friend, or participating in a sports team, having support and camaraderie boosts motivation and makes exercise more enjoyable. When you exercise with others, you benefit from shared encouragement, accountability, and the fun of social interaction. It’s a great way to stay committed to your goals and celebrate progress together. Plus, the collective energy and support can help push you further than you might go alone. Find your community, support each other, and make fitness a fun, shared experience. Together, we can achieve more! 🫶 #HolisticHealth #HolisticWellness #Holistic #Wellness #Health #HealthJourney #Healthyliving #Healthcare #HolisticHealing #SelfCare #HealthyLifestyle #MentalHealth #fitness #workout #wellness #healthandwellness
