Priming Your Body for Exercise

Hi all



A short post today on motivation. You know you want to go to the gym but there is never the right time to go as the day progresses. Now I'm not saying I am perfect but try this.

1 Pick ahead the time you will train - the precise time

2 Pick where you will train - home or gym. For some this may be a foregone conclusion.

3. Avoid or limit alcohol and improve sleep time the day before

4 On the day prime your body as often as you can. I use mountain climbers, push ups, air squats and sit ups for this. All of these require no equipment whatsoever and therefore can be done at a moments notice.

5 Remember these primers are not strength exercises per se but instead done at speed so momentum is fine. The idea is to wake your muscles and system up.

It will act as a great barrier breakdown - meaning that when gym time arrives it is not so traumatic either mentally or physically.

Mindset is more than half the battle and conquer this and you can move down the path of achieving the ultimate body.
