I always get up early on a Sunday (even earlier than other days)
Being on baby duty basically means I need to be in when the baby gets up
So I got up early (4am), laced up and ran to the studio.
Did a quick intense workout to fatigue the legs.
Then I ran again.
If the baby wakes up mid-run?
I turn back. Fast.
That’s my sprint finisher
If the baby doesn’t wake up?
I just keep running…
Is it the perfect workout?
Is it scientifically formulated?
No…
But while doing this it reminded me about the story / quote about lamps.
(Stick with me…)
Picking a lamp when you’ve just moved into an empty house?
Easy. You just need something that gives light.
But if you’ve spent years curating your interiors to match the sofa, the wallpaper, the rug, the dog…the tin of mackerel?
Now the lamp has to be perfect.
And suddenly… you don’t choose one at all.
You are too scared of getting it wrong, right?
It’s so hard to find…
Same goes for workouts.
We wait until we feel ready. Until we’re less busy. Until we find the perfect plan.
Until the “lamp” matches everything else.
But guess what?
Sometimes the magic happens when you just start —
Even if it’s not perfect. Even if it’s not as long as you would normally workout for. Even if your t shirt is inside out as you got dressed in the dark (so I didn’t wake the baby)
That’s what our 28 Day Kickstart is all about.
No perfect plan required. Just simple steps. A supportive coach. And results that start from where you are.
If you’re 40, 50, 60, 70+ and want to get fitter, stronger, and build a routine that works for YOU?
Message me with “kickstart” and I’ll send you the details
And you can get started, even if the lamp doesn’t match your living room..
