Motivation to Train...

Posted by ruff-fitness on January 31, 2010 at 12:17 PM
We’re all motivated to train for different reasons. Some of you want to perform your favorite sports better. Others may want to improve the quality of simple day-to-day activities. And of course we all want to look our best!

What motivates each of us to train is often very similar. We all strive for self-improvement and to feel better about ourselves.  How we train is an excellent representation of how we chose to live our lives. Like life, training should be attacked with the following four traits - Purpose, Persistence, Passion and Pride. 

Purpose: Having a goal. This puts meaning behind your training efforts. You're more likely to follow through to the end of your journey with a purpose driving you down the path. Maintaining your focus on your purpose keeps you on the road to success.
Persistence: Anything worth having is worth working for. We might be able to get by just by going through the motions, but it is with persistence and hard work that we arrive at our destination with a sense of accomplishment. Training can be tough physically and mentally, yet it is with persistence that we work our way through the obstacles.

Passion: Enthusiasm and positive energy lead the way to success! Love what you are doing and remember why it is important to you. Play life with passion and you will separate yourself from mediocrity. 

Pride: Having a sense of pride in your training is important. It’s your daily commitment to training that creates the journey that will help you achieve your goals. Your training is a part of you, some will wonder why, but the really great people will make you feel that you, too, can become great. Even set backs and losses present an opportunity to learn and improve.

You deserve the very best! If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well!
