Having that sense of accomplishment is why I get up so early in the morning

Most importantly, there is a therapeutic component to the sport. Every time I have a lesson, all the stress produced by outside factors does not exist. Somehow, I can focus on my coach’s words. During my practice time, nothing is distracting me. My mind is attuned to what is happening on the ice. I make sure that my camera is facing me and there is enough space in the rink to practice my jumps and spins. All the negativities of the world are pushed away. I am at peace in my happy place.

Make your weekly training plan specific to your fitness goal, find a way to measure your progress and make the weekly plan. Be sure that it is something that you can do each week be relevant to the latest research and set a time that you will keep this programme.

Periodize Your Training

Everything in moderation…including exercise!

Life...Take 2!

Ok so I’ve talked about consistency, accountability, patience & persistence and how each have played major roles in my own health and wellness journey. I thought it was also important to talk about another piece of the puzzle which is moderation.

I have fallen in love with this lifestyle, with lifting, with getting stronger and I am now at a point where I have to actually tell myself “you need to take a day off” even though most weeks I don’t want to!
