Exercise of the Month - November 2011:
“Prioritize Your Training Sessions”
This month’s “tip/homework assignment” is as simple as the title states….”Prioritize Your Training Sessions.” Schedule it in your planner as you would any other important daily event (i.e. Doctor’s appointment). Looking back at these past 12-18 months, this has been one of my biggest mistakes. During that time, I was inconsistent in putting my training sessions over other events that, while important, should not have taken precedence.
Some days it was squeezing in one more session with a client, while other days it was making sure I sent one more email to a group I was doing nutrition consulting with. Long story short, I wasn’t doing what I told so many of my clients to do….prioritize your training sessions. As I look toward these final 2 months of 2011 and into 2012, I’m excited to have begun putting in place what I need to in my life to make sure nothing gets in the way of my training.
My questions for YOU are: will you join me and do the same? Have you compiled a supportive team of family, friends, co-workers, etc… who can help you stay motivated and who you draw on for support as time progresses? What’s motivating you? Close your eyes and think about how you see yourself in your future having trained hard and consistent? I’d love to hear your feedback!
