Fitness Tip #12: Get Outside Your Comfort Zone


Well, 20 tips became 12 and 2 days late but that's the holidays for you. The Skahan's had a great one too! I am very much looking forward to 2011 and everything that comes with it. On to the fitness tip...

I sometimes believe people don't know what it feels like to really kick their own butt and get outside their comfort zone. Really who wants to feel like they just can't handle one more second of something?? No one. I can recall workouts where I didn't think I would make it through one more rep or one more interval. I believe this is when big changes take place, mentally and physically. You learn that you will not die and you CAN actually do it. Physically, your body is challenged to endure something it may never have been asked to do before. If you stick it out, get through it and believe it is supposed to feel hard then the rewards are exponential in so many ways.

Have you ever challenged your comfort zone? Did you learn that you were greater than the feeling of quitting at any moment? If not, then it's about time to kick it up a notch. If you want to see a change in your appearance or performance then that requires your full commitment to that goal. Get after it!

On a different note, I have a few new personal training clients that I am really excited for! They are new to the whole process of weight training with a proper program and guidance. I look forward to sharing their progress and hopefully get some of their feedback along the way. Fun things to come!
