Even Personal Trainers Struggle (Sometimes)

An insight of how Personal Trainers struggle as well, the last 3 weeks have been tough for me personally. I spend all my days motivating clients and classes, making sure they eat correctly, train in the right manner and that they are mentally strong for their challenge.

This is a job I would not switch for anything, I love being able to help and share my knowledge, and to see client achieve their goals.

Occasionally the demons hit us Personal Trainers and this is what has happened to me the last 3 weeks, my training has been poor by standards, the odd session here and there. I have lost the mojo, I have forgotten that to keep my fitness is as important as anything else.

My focus went towards the 16hr UltraRow that Phil & I completed, an amazing distance was covered of 174K and then I need to recover afterwards as well, then I picked up a niggling cold, not bad enough not to work but annoying enough to stop my training, on top of all this I have been decorating at home and that became a focus and not my training.

As any of my clients know you need a kick up the backside occasionally and I got mine yesterday, I had my body measurements done, 4 cms off my chest, 1.5cms off my arms (BUGGER NOT GOOD)

Or words to that effect were uttered.

My mind is now switched on and the training back in gear as of today, 5 weeks to regain those losses.

Three and a Half months to the Baikal Ice Marathon, I need to be in the best possible shape I possibly can be and I need to get Phil in the best possible shape that he has ever been in……
