Which of these barriers have you faced on your fitness journey? If you were successful, how did you overcome them?
My biggest obstacle is being consistent!! we always start off strong but then miss a day and lose momentum! I just try to take it one day at a time!
Ah. Definitely have been there! It’s always refreshing to remember that it’s not the one instance of inactivity / unhealthy eating that determines our body composition. It’s behaviors that add up every day that determines your results! One day at a time is right!
40 lbs in 3 months?? That's amazing!
Great video! super helpful! Couldn't agree more that companionship is so important in overcoming barriers. Community is so helpful!
Companionship certainly is! They help keep you accountable. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for offering solutions, Kev! Great tips!
Of course! Happy to help, Victoria!
Kev these tips are fire!!! I used to do reformer Pilates 3 times a week before lockdown and I've done hardly anything since! But your right I now know what works for me when working out I'm not motivated to do it any other way! I never really understood what works for me properly! Thank you 😀
Can't wait to overcome these exercise barriers! Such a fantastic video!! :)
Yes To Tech You will get through them all! Thank you!
Love this I find it to be the busy schedule and keep up that motivation.
Definitely been there! Scheduling a workout can be tough if you’re always busy. Waking up a little earlier or making use of 15 free minutes can help! Thanks for watching!
Extremely good video. I like the counter examples you give to the barriers. Thanks so much. I am glad I found your channel.
Thanks so much, Ace A ! More of this content and more to come! Glad I’ve got a new viewer 😌. Let me know if you have any requests for topics/products/workouts/recipes!
@@KevTheTrainer You have a good soothing voice and sound very professional. Due to your experience, you have very practical knowledge that works in the real world. This is a video I will be watching again and again. I can't think of any other topic right now. I'll let you know in the future if I want to know more about something. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!
Yes!! Great point lots of people give themselves unrealistic goals/expectations
Thanks for watching, Keelin!!
I definitely keep facing the time barrier... I put my body back together several years ago but now it's hard to keep up because I always feel like there's not enough time to fit in 20 minutes for a quick workout (which is obviously a lie)
Ah, I totally empathize with that, doc! Just remember that you put your body back together; when you're ready to get back at it, just think about what you were capable of before!
Really great video! Thank you for being so encouraging to everyone!!! Barriers I've had have just been an overload of work. Working a full time corporate job and also owning my own business is EXHAUSTING but fun. But I make fitness fit in and try to keep it fun :)
Of course! I love helping others! I feel you. We make time for the things we love, and sounds like you make the time. Nice work!
Time is definitely a barrier of mine since I am a mom of 2 young ones and lots of competing priorities, however I wake up earlier before they wake up in order to fit it in. Thanks for this video.
Yes! Waking up early is a great strategy 😊. Thanks for watching!
Great video Kev!
jack johnson Thanks!
Really helpful info! And yes, the perception of being too busy (as opposed to actually being too busy) is so true!
Yes! It's a matter of making time. Thanks for watching, Kelly!
I can totally relate to starting day 1 over and over again! My biggest barrier is actually energy. I just don't always find the energy or motivation to get started and the first 15 minutes are so hard then I often get interrupted by my baby. I also have many other priorities and working out falls to the bottom of the list.
Tiidii Living with Sabrina Ah! I KNOW! It’s a frustrating feeling for sure. I can’t count how many Day Ones I’ve had. My recommendation for finding the motivation is to consider the long-term benefits of your program, and find little pockets of time to get the most out of it; so if you have 15 minutes, have a 10 minute quick routine you can do. I’m sure all the tidying up gets some good daily movement 😊.
Good to think about these barriers and also how to counteract them - thanks!
Yes! Awareness of the problems helps you prepare! Thanks for watching!
It really helps me when I arrange to work out with a friend and stick to the same days and times of working out - it becomes a part of the routine 😉
Vendy Steinberga Yes! Buddies definitely help!
This is a great list of barriers. With some thought put into each one at the beginning it's more likely that the program will be a success. Thanks for this!
Exactly! Knowing how you’re going to tackle these hurdles will do wonders. Thanks for watching!
Wow, great job! Your story is very inspiring. I’ve recently lost 10 pounds and I’m excited to continue my journey 😊
Thanks, Dhana! You can do it! Nice job on losing the 10. I believe in you! Thanks for watching!
That's good for only 3 months losing 40 lbs, that's amazing! Love the first barrier, I hear this a lot and they say I wish I have time like you do. Time is something that you make for the workout.
Bootcamps are really going to help a lot for making friends and overcoming shyness. I couldn't agree more with all these tips!
Thanks Czarina! It’s been a fun journey. Working with a group was a huge benefit for me. Thanks for watching and all your support!
Convenience is a definite for me. Great insights!
Thanks, Avenue! Making it as easy as possible for yourself to workout will make it easier to choose to workout! 😊
You definitely have to manage your expectations!
Yes! Thanks for watching, Myke!
Great realistic tips. We all have the same 24 hrs in the day so it comes down to making the time and setting goals properly. Specific realistic goals. I can say from experience setting them too high really makes them more ''wishes'' but when my goals get serious they more specific and committed I am is when I see them come to fruition.
Yes! Once you act on them, they these wishes can become a reality! And 100% agree, we all have the same 24 hours. It’s up to us what we do with it. Thanks for watching!
I’d say all of them have been a barrier at one point to another. Great suggestions for overcoming them. Thanks!
I was really shy until I started doing group fitness classes. It really helped me 😁
Same here! Community can be a huge motivator!
You have a great testimony! I have faced most of these barriers when it comes to being consistent. Great tips for how to overcome!
Thanks, Brigitte! Happy to hear you enjoyed the tips!
Thank you for the tips! Definitely agree that we need to set realistic goals to our fitness. 💪💪💪
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
It’s like you made this video for me. Great work. I identify with 3 of these 😅
Hope I helped you figure out how to overcome them! Thanks for watching!
You gave me knowledge
Thanks, Tom! That means a lot to hear. Do your best to overcome those obstacles and you’ll be well on your way towards your fitness goals 💪🏼
Thank you because you have me
Tom Cans 💯
