“You are stronger than you think”✨
This is something that I like to say to clients while teaching my fitness classes and also tell to myself when I can feel myself getting tired during a workout. Remembering this saying helps me push a little further, stay in the plank for a little bit longer, and go a little quicker for the final 10 seconds of mountain climbers on my timer. These moments, though they may make my muscles burn, they allow me to explore what my body is truly capable of even in moments that I feel like I can’t go any further or stay with the exercise any longer.
Though it may be generic, I love this quote because it applies to everyone and any one at every fitness level. YOU CAN DO IT! You always have the choice to finish what you started and stay strong throughout whatever activity you are doing… I promise your body will thank you for it the next day and your mindset will begin thrive off of that positive, accomplished, proud, and motivated feeling in more than just the workout part of your day.
I encourage you as you go to workout next, or even just as you take a light walk; think about what would make you proud in your those physically tired moments when you feel like giving up. How could you push your body and mind further that what you are already doing in your workouts? Are you working your body to it’s max heart rate in your cardio workout? Are you walking as quickly as you would like to in your morning walk? Are you biking the pace you have always wanted to achieve on your daily route?
There’s always room for improvement to better your body, mindset, and self and your body is stronger than you think… if you work for it, your body can reach the goals you set for it. 💪
