“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”

Vince Lombardi







“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save & preserve it.”

Passion vs Chore

Alistair Ramsay - Thursday, May 12, 2011
Do you look at exercise as a passion or a chore?

A passion - a strong fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything”

A chore - a hard or unpleasant task”

Its not hard to see which outlook is going to result in the greater long term results and improvements in any given exercise program.

How do you create a passion for exercise? Well to be honest I don’t think there is a magic answer to this question but finding a mode of exercise that you actually enjoy doing is a great start. Once absorbed in an activity you will likely relish the challenge of seeking performance improvements and becoming the best you can be in that practice. This is when all the good things start to happen.

  • Suddenly turning up to train is no longer an issue
  • You thrive on seeking improvements in your performance
  • Progress leads to more motivation which leads to more progress
  • You enter a self sustaining cycle where regular exercise is a fixture in your life

This is a powerful role reversal and it all begins with finding something you enjoy doing.....
