Let’s look at this weeks discussion ⬇️

You know how the saying goes:

The same is true when it comes to you planning the perfect time to start putting in some effort towards your health and fitness.

You carve out the perfect scenario for when things ‘calm down at home’

Then BAM..

Life comes knocking and your health and fitness gets put on the back burner because of (Insert as appropriate) Job, Family, Car, Pets etc.

Before you know it, six months pass and you’re more unhealthier, more overweight, more lethargic and more unhappy with yourself.

People go through this cycle for their whole lives, until something gives.

Think of the airline safety brief when there’s an emergency:

This goes against (most) peoples human nature, who would immediately want to make sure their loved ones are safe before they help themselves.

In an airline emergency AND in your own health case- that dooms you all.

Let’s say you are taking the family through a hard time, loss of job, family member etc.

Your kids and your spouse will look to you, yes that’s Men AND Women…

If you are not in a strong state, both mentally and physically yourself.

How can you possibly expect to support your family through such a time as well?

Avoid disaster.

Fit your own mask first.
