How do you get through the hard times?

Lets face it we all have weak moments, days or sometimes long periods of time. Times when all we want are a candy bar, burgers, alcohol, we don't want to exercise, and just feel like quiting. I think these feelings are real and need to be recognised, but then what?

It takes a lot of discipline to step back and take an objective look at ones self to evaluate where these feelings are coming from. What is missing that could be triggering the weakness? I always remind myself that I will feel so much better after the workout, and I do. The junk food or the drink or just staying in bed never meet the need, or fill the void that was made by skipping tasks which develop a healthy lifestyle.

Stay hydrated with plain water, eat plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Limit processed foods, refined sugars, excessive amounts of grains and fats. Maintain an exercise routine at all cost, its really not any more difficult than brushing our teeth each day.

So with all that said... How do you get through the hard times?

The price we pay to play

I spent a lot of time at the softball fields this year, I even started playing again, I am reminded each time that we need to exercise for our sport, not use our sport for exercise.

Functional training, a buzz word among trainers and therapists, is a dynamic style of exercise which uses multiple muscle groups. Functional exercise not only maximises the calories burned and muscles worked in a shorter amount of time but also mimics real life or sport specific situations. Preparing your body to preform will decrease your chance of injury in your sport or you occupation.
