Today’s Quick Tip focuses on what I say in Boot Camp ALL the time: STOP MAKING EXCUSES!
A lot of physical training is mental. Physically, it might seem like we can’t do a move or exercise, but it’s really mental. An excuse is just your subconscious trying to hold onto who you used to be, because you’re afraid to be who you know you can be. Don’t be afraid of your own success. The more you feed into your excuses, the more likely you are to believe them.
It’s so important to have an accountability partner! Slacking off is contagious—if the person next to you in Boot Camp isn’t putting 100% into her mountain climbers, you probably won’t either. Find someone that pushes you harder. And never forget that you may be inspiring someone else when you choose to put 100% into your workout.
Bottom line: If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, you’re right. Don’t let you excuses drag you down. Be the person you want to be, in the body you want to have!
