While the whole fitness industry hits the January scramble and goes hyperdrive it is useful not to get too caught up in the hype. Motivation, willpower and the like are short term helpers only. They are temporary assistance at best.

Being physically strong so you can maintain physical fitness is only truly helpful to your life and health if it is sustainable.

In peoples minds being in shape almost means becoming a different person. This can be intimidating and easy to give up on. The truth is if you adopt the idea of not selling yourself short the ‘new you’ is actually you living at your proper pace.

Long term success usually starts in the muscles but ends in the heart of your personal outlook. Real exercise is tough but your body deserves it. Being physically fit is tough because it takes consistency.

Getting and staying in shape means your weekly workout – watching what you eat – resting well and staying active is…non-negotiable.

Be well, be strong
