Harking back to the 90s when Michael Buerk presented the nine o'clock news and Tamagotchi's were THE toy, we find Mr. Motivator. Mr. Motivator was the star of early morning fitness tv on GMTV. He instructed his aerobic routines with the help of colourful, spandex all in ones. No matter how you felt that morning you would always manage a smile at his infectious enthusiasm and energy.
Sadly Mr. Motivator left our screens in 2000 and despite a brief return in 2009 he hasn't remained. (Rather sensibly he's returned to his birthplace of Jamaica).
Much like Mr. Motivator our own motivation may have seen a decline as we've grown older, possibly disappearing completely. (It may be waiting in Jamaica!) You may struggle to get active, avoiding exercise and eating a poor diet.
We are not all like Mr Motivator but we all have it inside ourselves to pull our finger out and make a difference to our bodies. We must look to make changes to our lifestyles and adopt a healthy and active approach to EVERYDAY life. We can't expect to join a gym and for magic to happen. We must commit to doing activity everyday of the week. We have to eat healthily throughout the week, not just the odd occasion. Most importantly we have to find something we enjoy doing that raises our heart rate and enables us to de-stress. It could be Zumba, boxing, walking, cycling or circus trapeze. If it makes you happy and helps you to forget your worries then it'll keep you MOTIVATED.
So Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Motivator, what will you do differently today to help yourself?
Tom :-)
