Fast Forward To The New You!

I talk to a lot of prospective clients every week that once we are introduced tell me..."I really need a personal trainer!" However, when approached to schedule a date to meet and discuss their fitness goals they get a bit uncomfortable. I often wonder what it would be like to fast forward someone 6 or even 12 months ahead and have them look at the time they spent working on themselves and how much they appreciate the new and improved version. They can see themselves struggling along the way, sweating, working hard, denying themselves the temptations of foods that no longer serve their goals and rewarding themselves with a feeling of accomplishment and better health. They have lost body fat, inches from their waist, gained muscle mass and strength and tackled the endurance hurdles with a sense of urgency they never felt before. The picture they now hold of themselves is one of pride and they stand up tall with the strength to accomplish everything they dream of. They no longer wish to feel better, to wake up in the morning dreading life and dreaming of a day when they don't struggle to fit into their pants. They ask their friends and family to join them in activities that feed their spirit and bring them closer together. They appreciate balance in their lives and have an new perspective from which they will guide their journey.

Yes, I would love for everyone that says to themselves that they "need a personal trainer" to really say...I need to change my life. The way that happens is to fast forward to a time when you feel great, look your best and strive to be better. If you keep that perspective alive you can reach your goals and achieve more than you thought possible. As a personal trainer I strive to hold that vision for all my clients. I know they have the potential to reach their goals. We are always shifting perspective, challenging the body and nurturing the spirit to achieve more. So, design your goals today with the ambition of creating your tomorrow. Just fast forward and believe!
