Proudly Naked... Friday, March 30

"Get naked with confidence", that was one of the goals of a personal training client of mine and let me tell you, mad props to her for reaching this goal. Today she walked out of the boxing club changeroom completely buck naked and completely confident. This was a first for her... and for me too (having a client peel totally down). She walked out of the changeroom wearing nothing but a huge grin that stretched from ear to ear. She sat through our entire meeting in the buff and though I thought it was rather funny to a certain extent, I felt rather sad to know that she's never been able to show anyone else her body up until now. Relationships that should have been and could have been but never continued on account of her lack of confidence and insecurities was what made her contact me.

I've been working with this particular personal training client for about five months now and even from the get go she never really interested in her measurements. She never had goals like a 30" waist or 15% body fat because her interest was more so in how she felt and in starting a healthy lifestyle. She had realistic goals for her -- a realistic woman in the now. Her goal was to start and maintain exercising three days a week, eat five times a day, lose 5% body fat and "get naked with confidence".

Regardless of what YOUR goals are, figure out what you want in the first place, set realistic goals and map out a route to get them. You won't get anywhere fast unless you know where you're going... unless you take action and START!
