How Busy Am I Going To Be?

​Before you go on a mad fitness binge (yes, this does happen) - make sure you plan out your next few months and ask yourself how busy you are going to be.

Are you taking a long holiday in the next 3 months?

Do you have any major events (weddings, birthdays, social calendar etc) coming up?

Are you travelling for work in the next 3 months?

Do you have a busy season? I.e if you are a tax accountant for tax season.

Do you have major allergies that play up at certain times of the year?

Is there any other reason why you think your training may be interrupted in the next few months?

If you are pretty clear, then you can start a serious transformation.

If you think your life is busier than the kardashians average weekend then maybe you want to rethink your approach so that you don't beat yourself up when you realise you cannot keep up the crazy new routine.

Please do not go with the "ALL OR NOTHING" approach. 

Try not to convince yourself that you will stick to your organic diet plan and 6 mornings of workouts per week when you have multiple social engagements and travel periods for work or leisure.

Pull the reins back a bit and manage your expectations. Most people beat themselves up when they cannot keep up their routine.

Usually its because they underestimated how busy their life is. You can still fit in an exercise plan and a healthy eating strategy without having to go all in and still having a normal busy life.

Think before you act - especially when it comes to planning your fitness.
