Practice Makes Perfect

Do you remember that old saying Practice makes Perfect? Well it got me thinking this week.

I came to the realisation that the difference between 'fit people' and 'unfit people' (I use the terms clients use with me) is how much and how often we practice. Practice being exercise but the more we do it, the closer to perfect it becomes.

I have popped a picture of myself and a push up. The reason for this is as girls in particular we don't like push ups. We avoid them like the plague. Why is that? Generally we are weaker in our upper body than our lower body, just look at our body shapes. Usually there is a lot more mass in the lower body than the upper body so squats and lunges are our friends, but push ups?

When demonstrating push ups I regularly hear 'you make it look so easy'. And yes it is easier for me, but why? Because I have practiced more. I have been doing push ups for most of my life and the more you do, the easier they become.

The same can be said for most of our training. The more we box, the better we become at boxing. The more we run the better we become at running.

So don't be disheartened if you are training in a group and there are people who are 'so much fitter'. The only difference between them and you is they have been doing more for longer. If you keep practising, you will get there too.

So drop and give me 20!!
