It’s just another way to keep me focused, reminding me of – why I’m doing what I’m going.

Here another one for you, the picture was taken on the beach in Portmarnock, North Dublin, Co. Dublin – a few months back  – a beautiful, windy day, ideal for kite surfer as you might see.

“When you most feel like giving up is when you most need to be persisting.”

Think of and show:
Perseverance – Focus – Determination – Chutzpah – Audacity  

and you will get where ever you want to get.
My glass is – always half full

Here you see her using the TRX – Suspension Training equipment during the Circuit Training Class. There is no exercise she doesn’t a least try – no matter if it is a cardio, resistance training, mobility or flexibility exercises.

She does Push-Ups, One-Arm Rows, Russian Twists on the Ball, Kettlebell – Two Arms Swings, Rowing, Pilates exercises, Gymstick moves etc. etc.  – as said there is nothing she doesn’t do.

To be honest – it happens from time to time that she does exercises to a certain level where other class participants give up and those class participants are early 10….20 or more years younger than her or even be her daughter or son.

She is a “real role model” for everybody.

I really hope that I will be as active and energetic, full of life when I’m at that age.

WELL – DONE and keep the good work up, I looking forward to seeing her coming back to next Tuesday’s Circuit Training class.

I apply various outcome frames - some from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programing), some taken from other coaching and mentoring practices with my clients, this might be for personal fitness training, business mentoring and coaching or for diet and nutrition advise.

It comes nearly always down to determining you goal, ambition and objective first - do this in writing – and then planning and scheduling regular action steps that you take at predetermined times and days…. meaning it’s all about taking action, focus and determination.

Here a few simple question that my clients answer initially to get focused and take action.

1. What do you want?
2. What will achieving this allow you to do?
3. What will it feel like if you have achieved this?
4. What will others e.g. friends, family, your partner (business or personal) partner say when you achieved your goal?
5. What will you see/hear if you have achieved your ambition?
6. What will others see/hear if you have achieved your objective?

7. Have you done or accomplished this before?
-> if not: Do you  know someone who has? Contact that person and find out how she/he went about it.
-> if yes: How did you go about it?

8. What are the next 3…5 steps / actions that you will take in the next 5 days to get closer to your goal?

-> scheduled these actions in your diary and “DO IT/THEM”!

Review your goals regular, possibly revise them, take regular action and I promise yourself, that you will achieve your goals.
-> Focus on regular – scheduled Action – Action – Action

“If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems. And that’s a big mistake.”

I can’t rmember who said it but a person in his 70s got asked what he would do different if he could re-live his life over again … answer was along the lines of “I would do more, make more mistakes and learn from them.”

Being a Locavore … might be one a good thing to be at the end of the day – for your health, for the environment, for all of us. Let us know what you think.

You can get around with a few very simple pieces of equipment and some other bits to stay in shape, fit and healthy at home, No yearly gym membership needed.

Here what I used the morning:

1. Two Kettlebells 1x 16kg, 1x 20kg
2. Chin Up Bar or Pull Up Bar (without attachment, no screws needed)
3. Heart Rate Monitor
   to make sure you you push and challenge yourself enough

   from time to time in Lidl or Aldi (not sure about the quality).
4. Gym Boss – Interval Timer
   Great piece of equipment for interval training or even for Stretching
   to make sure you hold your stretch long enough to gain the maximum benefit.
5. Exercise Diary
