Hey there this is TC again hope you got an awesome weekend. I got a great one. Had a great workout with a mate in the gym on the weekend and gave some very motivated ladies a awesome boot camp workout in Nedlands on Saturday. I just love it.

Today, my blog is about how you can get the hot body for the summer in Perth. Seriously, you got to get some serious workout now if you want to look anywhere near HOT in the summer. You can’t expect your body shape to change quickly just by working out in the summer. As you might know, winter time here is when most people slack off from exercise and eating and feel totally unmotivated. The post here is not about special workout technique or eating tips. It’s about having the mindset to get you past the winter, work towards a better body and avoid possibly a bathing suit disaster. Here is the 5 steps to:

Don’t Be a VICTIM

NO MORE EXCUSES. Excuses like, “I have fat genes” or “My metabolism is too slow to lose any weight”. Be accountable to yourself. Listen up! Focusing on the NEGATIVE isn’t going to help your situation. You might as well focus on what you can do to make things better. Every little effort counts. They will snowball. Surround yourself with positive people. Stay away from negative people.

Set GOALS

Can’t say this enough. Without goals, you’re going nowhere. Can you imagine doing a workout with no purpose? If you set goals like “I want to get general fitness” or “I want to lose some weight”, you’re not going to get anywhere. Why? It’s NOT CLEAR, and it’s NOT SPECIFIC enough. How would you know what needs to be done to achive your goals. So how should you set your goals then?

Be very CLEAR and SPECIFIC.

Ask yourself how fit you want to be or how much weight you want to lose. Your goals must be measurable. Set goals like “Fit into a pair of size 4 jeans or lose 10 kg”. The key to goal setting is a WANT not a need. To attain your goals, you REALLY GOT TO WANT IT. Do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Have the burning desire. DESIRE DESIRE DESIRE. Write your goals on a piece of paper and bring with you anywhere you go. Keep looking at it and remind yourself. Make sure you set a deadline too. NO DEADLINE NO URGENCY.

VISUALISE Crossing the Finishing Line

“All the Things We Achieve Are the Things We Have First of all Imagined” David Malouf, Australian Writer

NEVER NEVER doubt yourself. If you can’t even see yourself achieving your goals, how will you achieve your target. Very often, people who don’t achieve their goals have a lot of self-doubts. Unfortunately, our subconscious can have an impact on our failure. So can we reset that?

Try this: Find yourself a quiet place and close your eyes. Visualise the shape you want to be in as much detail as possible. Visualise it before you sleep and when you wake up everyday until you believe it. Read this book called Psycho Cybernetics 2000 for more details.

Take Massive ACTION

Obviously, all those goal setting and visualisation will come to nothing if no action is taken. Please remember that getting into shape requires some work and discipline. Signing up for a gym membership does not guarantee success. many people who signed up for it never made it to the gym. If you have problem sticking to the workout routine in the past, you should consider getting a workout mate who is a slave driver, engage a personal trainer or sign up for a boot camp.

Advantage of a Slave Driver aka workout mate: He will work your butt off ( make sure he’s a slave driver)

Advantage of a personal trainer: He will work give you a kickass workout and call you when you don’t turn up (make sure it’s a great trainer)

Advantage of a boot camp: You paid for it and have to turn up and will have to work hard.

And YES. TAKE ACTION NOW. Don’t just read and do nothing. There’s always something you can do. How about start your goal setting NOW?

PLAN, Plan, Plan

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

Always always plan ahead. Any top athletes would plan their training before the big day. You must too. If you want top results, you got to plan too. Plan your workout and your eating at least a day before. Never leave it til the last moment. You can end up with a burger or a bar of chocolate in your hands or miss a workout. Plan when you want to workout, block a time out and plan your eating in advance.

ENERGY

You can’t leave home without it. You can have the best planning and goal setting but they will be useless if you lack energy. Where do you get your energy? It’s from the BELIEF in YOU that you’re going to achieve your DREAMS. That will be goals. If you’re not excited about your goals, you’re not going to find the ENERGY to put in the extra effort in your workout and everything else that is going to impact your dreams. So make sure you HASSLE, HASSLE, HASSLE every session of your workout. It’s going to make a difference. Without the energy, the best workout in the world is not going to give you results.
