Group Workouts Inspire Weight Loss and Fitness
Hey Guys sorry it’s been such a long time since I posted here.
Like a lot of people who are constantly on the weight loss journey I slipped-off and was quite naughty for a while.
My main weakness in the whole scheme of things is “too much beer” and as It got hotter in the summer I drank more
beer! Then away on the road working for a couple of months eating quick food at motorway service stations – not good at all!
I’ve been working-out hard now for a about 6 weeks in the park early mornings. The thing that has me so motivated at the
moment is that we have a good group working-out together. Some mornings there’s as many as eight of us and on others
there’s only two.
Social Weight Loss
The good thing now is that it’s become a social thing as well as a workout thing. We’re helped, motivated, pushed and inspired by
our trainer Mark Finn of Dockside Fitness. One of the things that’s great about Mark is he turns up in his van and unpacks a mobile gym.
He is constantly adding new bits of kit and dreaming up new ways of using them. He recently produced 2 big thick heavy ropes about 6 or 7
meters in length. From swinging them around above our heads to whipping them up and down and even hauling ourselves up and down them
the list is endless – and great fun. They also make you ache in places you didn’t know you had muscles.
I have to say that a trainer is great inspiration but the group is a stronger motivator for me. We’ve all got each other to compete against and
cheer on, and we can all see much improvement. We had lots of photos taken by Nick Gregan so we can chart our progress.
I recommend anyone struggling for motivation to get a buddy to train with and if possible form a group as the benefits are tremendous.
