Right now I know you are probably wondering, grit? What in
the world is he on about again?! Well today I want to talk about the most
important thing you need when trying to achieve your fitness goals, no scratch
that, when trying to achieve any goal in life that is worthwhile, you need
grit, true grit. Now what is this grit that I keep on banging about? Well how
about defining it? Grit can be best defined as; courage, spirit, resolve,
toughness, determination, hardiness, strength of character …. You get the
picture!
Now that we know what grit is, how does it relate to
achieving your fitness and life goals you may ask, well grit is that thing in
you that keeps you going, it’s that thing that makes you wake up early, even
when you don’t feel like waking up. It what makes you show up at the gym while
ignoring the pain of your last workout, it’s also what helps you stay focused
on achieving the type of fitness, strength and body shape you dream about and it’s what stops you from quitting, even in
the face of tiredness, pain, doubt , discouragement, and fear.
