Guess what? Me either. I’m busy, up early and home late and I spend most of my time as a Personal Trainer catering to other peoples needs, wants, desires and goals. If you want to talk excuses, I have heard ALL of them. Believe me. I heard some last night and just this afternoon. Now, I’m not going to blow up anyones spot but I WILL repeat what I say to myself and to my classes/clients that I meet up with six days a week. There are 24 hours in a day if you can’t find time for yourself then you need a change of mind. Again, it all goes back to MINDSET which is something that is embedded into the fundamental level of each and everyone of my training programs.
Let me break it down for you real simple. You are busy, stressed, overworked, partied out, hungover, your dog ate your sneaker, you’re sore, you have a headache. Guess what? In the time it is taking me to write out this blog I did 25 push-ups. Why? To illustrate a point. There is time, IF YOU MAKE TIME and get your head in the game!
Welcome to my 100 a day challenge. Pick a body part you want to strengthen or tone; so lets say you tell me, “Dani I want my arms to look like yours.” Ok fine. Lets get to work!
Give me 100 push-ups every day for the next week! Most likely you will look at me like I’m crazy at first BUT lets break it down AGAIN. We have time. We have a whole day so for those of you who don’t get to the gym, or to class, or do your 30 minutes of recommended cardio daily this one is for YOU! From the moment you get out of bed, until the moment you lay down at night, you will give me 100 perfect push-ups using correct form. You can modify the exercise by dropping to your knees or using a countertop or table. You can space the exercise repetitions throughout the day. The reason for so many reps is to keep you mindful and to get you into the mindset of thinking fitness, habit, control, and change. Baby steps people, success doesn’t happen overnight!
The idea here is to GOAL SET and then get MOVING! Let me know when you have completed the challenge and as I always say, hold yourself accountable, no Bullsh*t. You have 24 hours, now make it happen!
