If it was hard enough keeping fit during the summer, you might just have noticed that Mother Nature is starting to up the ante. The days are getting shorter, the evenings colder, and the nights wetter. So how, as the winter approaches, are you supposed to get up, get moving and get into shape?

1- Plan your workout with a mate, you will be less inclined to cancel if you mate is counting on you being there.

2- Move your alarm to the other side of the room, this will make you have to get up to turn it of and you will be less inclined to go back to sleep.

3- Pay your fees up front, and confirm they are for the next day. If your fees are paid you are less likely to miss that session due to the fact you don’t want to lose the money.

4- Wear warmer clothes to training and through your warm up, at the end of the warm up 90% of the time you have warmed up enough and will want to take your extra layers off.

5- Have a Goal, winter is the one season where you can lose everything you gained over the warmer months. Do you consistently want to be chasing that goal that is just out of reach or do you want to be able to maintain that goal year round.

6- Make a deal with your trainer/Charity/Partner etc that for every session you miss due to sleeping in or just not wanting to do it you will give them $xx, once again money going out is going to fix your mindset very quick.

7- Make sure you Keep your water intake to a maximum, just as in the warmer months your body still needs the same amount of hydration, so keep to the 1L per 20KG of bodyweight daily.

8- Don’t make excuses, its only sending all your hard work backwards. Try going 1 whole week without making any excuse not to train, every time you do be honest and put $5 in a jar, see how many excuses you had.

9- A 60min workout is about 4% of your entire day, no matter what profession your in every has 4% of time per day, Your body is the only thing that will be with you for your whole life, so look after it first!

10- Have fun, Exercise isn’t meant to be boring or torturous, if you go into the workout with a positive attitude chances are your going to enjoy the workout so much more.

Last Years Winner:

 

Bootcamp Noosa or gym?

 

Typical Rundown on the differences you will find between the 2, lets start with your typical gym!

 

• Enter gym. Notice front desk employee sitting in front of a computer. Wait about 15-20 seconds for them to stop playing solitaire or Facebook.
• “Hi,  This is my first time here.” “Oh, let me get a “trainer” to show you around.”
• Walk through the gym. Trainer shows you the “cardio areas”, which consist of rows upon rows of treadmills, elliptical, and stationary bikes.
• Next, you are shown the “machines areas”. Various contraptions with diagrams that highlight whatever muscle group the thing is supposed to isolate. If you’re lucky, they’ll have Hammer Strength stuff!! You may get a line like “This machine is designed to work you exactly like free weights.” You think to yourself, “Hmmm, well why not just do free weights, then?” You also note that at least 2 of the four walls in every area are made up entirely of mirrors. And people are standing and looking at themselves in them.
• The tour continues: “Here we have the free weight area. You can use this if you want to get huge.” This typically equates to the square footage of a walk-in closet. Work boots, little tank-tops, and multiple shakers full of supplements abound.
• Now, the all-important retreat into a tiny office where you get the used-car sale. Something like, “Well, typically our memberships are $59/mo, plus a $269 sign-up fee. We’ll waive the fee and set you up on a tiered payment plan where every year the fee will drop 11.59043% until you reach year 4, at which point…” blah blah blah. You counter with, “Well my friend pays $20/mo with no sign-up fee.” They respond, “I’ll have to get my manager.” The dance continues. You threaten to walk out. At this point, you may or may not get the “super secret pricing deal”. You realize you’ve lost a little bit of your soul. They throw in free tanning.
• You are now a member. You work out for 2 years. You see the same people every day. You never talk to them. After 2 years you notice that they all look exactly the same as the first day you ever saw them, despite the fact that they spend at least an hour a day on the elliptical while reading a magazine or talking on their cell phones.
• OK, the Bootcamp Noosa first-time experience:
  • The first thing you notice is that there really isn’t a front door – it’s a garage door. Or two. Did this place used to be an auto shop?
  • The next thing you notice are people on the floor gasping for air. You can see this clearly as the whole place is one open room and the garage doors are open.
  • You walk in. At first, you’re not quite sure who works there and who works out there – they all look about the same. Eventually, a trainer or owner finds you and greets you enthusiastically.
  • You’re invited to take part in a workout. As you wait for the current group to finish up, you take notice of your surroundings.
  • No air conditioning. No mirrors. Not a single treadmill or Rowers – uh oh.
  • Ropes and straps hanging from the ceiling. Kettlebells. Weight racks. Weird rubber weights. Lots and lots and lots of places to do pull-ups. Instead of mirrors, the walls are covered Whiteboards. And peoples names are listed under various workouts that have military names as the titles. Obviously people compete over everything here. As people finish the workout and peel themselves off the floor, you notice that they all seem to be friends.
  • OK, time for the workout. A trainer takes you and whoever else is there for a first-time visit and you do some stretches, and then they actually teach you how to do whatever you’re going to be doing that day. Real instruction and the guy (or girl) actually sounds like they know what they’re talking about.
  • Workout time. 3-2-1-go. 1 minute into the workout you realize that you actually might die before it’s done. You regret eating whatever it was you ate for breakfast, because you’re pretty sure everybody is going to see it coming out of your mouth. 30-45 minutes later you’re finished, and soaked with sweat on a pile on the floor. You think to yourself that you did more work in 30-45 minutes than most people at your old gym did in a month.
  • After the workout, you’re told you can hang around and ask questions or go home and ice yourself down. No pitch.

Now, which one sounds better?
