“I should be doing more.”
“I used to be stronger.”
Sound familiar?
Sometimes we can be our own worst critic.
“Seeing my benchmark for the Ski Erg was such a surprise, and made me realise that I had such a negative narrative in my head about my level of fitness.”
And this bit…
“It has really boosted my self-belief.”
^^ Love that.
Sometimes the story in your head and what you’re actually doing are two very different things.
That’s one reason we do benchmark sessions at Fruci Fit.
We look at strength exercises and cardiovascular movements, record how you get on, and can compare them over time.
Against where YOU were.
Six weeks ago. Three months ago. Last year.
It gives us something to look at beyond how you feel about yourself that morning.
Maybe you’re lifting more.
Covering more distance.
Finding the stairs easier and getting your breath back more quickly.
Those things matter too.
You can keep showing up, doing the basics, and barely notice the changes because you’re living them every day.
Then you look back…
And realise you’ve moved forward.
It’s why we have “Don’t believe everything you think” on the studio wall.
Your inner critic may have a lot to say.
Ask it to bring some evidence.
Is it true?
Can you be completely sure it’s true?
What am I comparing it with?
What am I not giving myself credit for?
Who would you be if you didn’t believe this inner critic?
What would be different?
The scales can tell you one thing.
They can’t tell you everything you’re now able to do.
