‘Fresh’

new toy 1

So last time I was discussing ‘consistency’. The REALITY is that consistency is pretty much ‘key’ to success on ALL levels. Not just in your health and fitness.  All relationships, lovers and love, family, friends, business. Everything needs consistency.

Being fit and healthy takes shed loads of consistent effort. Staying in a long term relationship takes shed loads of consistent effort. Making money same. These are THREE areas that are ‘primary’ to happiness in the 21st century.

It is funny how the last of the three on this list is the one that most humans concentrate on FIRST. Money.

FRESH…. fresh?…. what has ‘fresh’ got to do with anything?

FRESH my friends is how to stay consistent.

If you want to keep your woman/man happy keep it ‘fresh’

If you want to make more money keep it ‘fresh’

If you want to make more of your health and fitness….yep….KEEP IT FRESH!!

I am not going into a whole psychoanalytical tutorial as to the meaning of ‘fresh’ I am hoping that if you are reading this you have at least five brain cells and get it that ‘fresh’ means ‘interesting’, ‘new’, ‘varied’.  Not varied as in having multiple lovers whilst in a relationship. Not varied as in having multiple streams of (no) income. Not varied as in having gym memberships you do not use.

As a pro P.T.I this is my vocation, it is my reason to and for being. I do not do it for recreation but I do it for recreation.

The above photo shows me and my woman after taking part in the ‘back to the trenches’ 10k recently. As you can see we are both ‘rotten’ freezing cold, wet through and covered in mud. (how do women keep their faces clean?)

The top photo shows a new piece of workout equipment I made recently for ‘Dynamo’.

Both pictures show new variety to keep things ‘fresh’.

We both do roadwork as a base to fitness. Generally we do not throw ourselves into freezing muddy water with hundreds of others.

We both punch bags as part of our boxing based workouts. Generally we do not punch a 70k truck tyre. (has to be one of THE best punch bags I have ever used).

I have been working out for about 45/6 yeas now. I should be bored shitless. I am not…… WHY?

Firstly I understand that MY fitness is THE priority in my life. I attribute time to my fitness BEFORE anything else. (sadly ‘most’ humans do not get this concept)

Second FIRSTLY I keep it FRESH. I consistently do not do the same workout.

If you are one of my clients, neither do you.

I was talking to my right hand man and Head of dept P.T Mr Adam Wright RM (rtd) yesterday.   The conversation occurred during our pre planned daily training session which happens everyday from 15:00 to 16:00. We were not doing the same session but working on individual aspects of our personal requirements. My session was organised around my quest to regain strength I lost after my motorcycle accident nearly 4 years ago.  Adams was a leg session designed to help him run faster.

I have been training and training with Adam for nearly 20 years now. I have been trained by others and training myself ALL my life.

Neither of us are, have been or are likely to be a world champion in any recognised sport.

I turned to Adam and said ‘you know it is sad that we are seen (by some) as impressive whilst being so mediocre, medieval man, for instance would ridicule our pathetic efforts in attaining physical superiority’. Adam nodded in understanding.

We all know of many young sporting world champions, that after their heady days ruling the world fall into the familiar spiral of personal neglect once the ‘goal’ has gone.

I do not know how many sporting world champions there are across ALL the sports. I do know that it is fractional compared to world population. Your ‘actual’ potential to be a world champion then is like mine. Very limited!

What is ‘the’ point then of physical activity if it is not to be a WORLD CHAMPION?

Being physically fit I suppose precedes being a world champion by millennium. Being fit is supposed to be part of the living experience, its uses so multiple it is unquantifiable.

To attain it and maintain it in any USEFUL form though requires ONE thing, in my ‘unwritten’ study of physical training at ‘world’ and ‘domestic’ level. One thing is either apparent or not apparent.

I know of and have trained hundreds of ‘bright’ stars.

Dieters. Fasters. Maniacal trainers.

Know all’s. Coveters. Wishers. Wanters.

Dreamers. liars. Blamers.

I then, like Adam and many others I train now are actually aspiring to our own made up world championship a world championship encompassing the ONE thing that is either IN or OUT.

This world championship comes in both sexes and in EVERY weight category that the human form can be made to attain. It also comes in ‘every’ category of exercise that has been invented.

What is this world championship you ask? Well since you ask. I call it ‘CCW’.

CONSISTENCY Championship of the World.

In fitness if you are not consistent. You will NOT reach your potential.

Is that clear?

Good.
