Ooooops! I didn’t hear that …

I was talking with one of my clients about keeping up motivation to keep going and her comments to me were that it was easy for me because I love exercise. Yes, she is right, I love to exercise .. But there are times when I don’t love it so much.

If I don’t love it all the time then why do I keep it up?

I exercise for all of the things I have mentioned above. 
I feel good after finishing a workout or achieving my goal.
Yes, exercise has helped me change my body shape .. I’m still working on it but I’m pretty happy with where I am right now.
Yes, I have used exercise to help me lose weight … I could probably do a bit more about my diet … well, let’s leave that there shall we!
Yes, I have trained for a specific goal .. In my younger years I completed quite a number of triathlons and last year I completed my 6th half marathon.  

Number one .. my health and fitness.  I want to set an example for my kids and my clients.  At the moment my focus at training is to do what I enjoy and will help me maintain or improve both my health and fitness. 
Next up, I really do enjoy it and how it makes me feel.  If I haven’t exercised for a week or so I start to feel a bit cramped and stiff and well, blah.
