On the 11th day of fitness my trainer said to me...stay motivated!

Whilst noone is yet in full blown new year's resolution mode, those of you reading this are probably not wanting to get to the beginning of January and feel completely bloated, poorly and warn out. Yes you want to enjoy Christmas and not deny yourselves of the treats but you want to stay relatively healthy throughout.

Over the past few days I have spoken about healthy options to the Christmas spreads, 10 minute workouts which are easy to fit in, tips on sleep, drinking more water and low calorie alcohol and more.

It's easy to read and not do, the tip is to stay motivated! How do we do this? Most of the time my clients know exactly what they need to do to stay in tip top condition but they don't have the motivation to do it themselves. This is why people hire personal trainers, to make sure they're working hard and they actually do something. If you've paid a trainer for a bundle of sessions, you're paying for them whether you turn up or not so noone wants to waste money!

So........

• Find a friend over Christmas to keep you accountable

• Find an exercise class you like to do with people

• Email me to put you on the text list for daily accountability (UK only)

• Write down your (reasonable) goals for Christmas period and start thinking about those New Year's resolutions!

• Buy yourself some nice workout gear - when you feel good in it you'll want to use it (that's the hope anyway!)

 It's Christmas Eve tomorrow!
