Morning {!firstname_fix}
On Saturday night, I was awarded ‘Student of the Year’, at my Lau Gar Kung Fu, Kickboxing class
It was pretty unexpected really, especially with there being so many other great students
Just over 10 years I’ve been doing this martial art for
I’ve also been doing Ju JItsu for 20 years
However….
The truth be known….
Martial arts isn’t even my first love, when it comes to exercise. Weight Training is
Over the years, there’s been sooooo many times I haven’t wanted to go to the classes
I’ve been battered by other guys, had black eyes and other things
Even been too lazy to go
but I’ve just kept dragging myself to them
Sometimes, I’ve had to physically swear at myself internally, “just go you lazy bastard”
but over the time, I’ve been rewarded….
Confidence, new skills, toned body, stronger mentally, more focused, belts, and even a trophy too on Saturday night etc
So I’ve had a lot of moments, struggling or finding motivation to get to a class
You might be the same
You might get in from work, sit on the couch, and that’s it, you cant be arsed attending ( putting it bluntly )
maybe your worried about what other people will think of you in the class
or maybe you’ll feel embarrassed, if you don’t know the moves
Whatever it may be
My tip for you here is……
Don’t let the seed of negativity grow in your mind
Sometimes, you’ll have to do what I’ve done, and just drag yourself along
Even if it means swearing at yourself
Just go. Be brutal
And over time….
The rewards will come, weight loss, confidence, energy etc

PS – Nothing much to say here, all my sessions are now almost fully booked up for the month 🙂
PPS – If you do attend one of my programs, there’s no need to worry what other women will think of you. There very supportive groups, and all the women are most likely to be of a similar age to yourself. No gym bunnies 🙂
