Speaker 1: Get everyone Sam Wood here with this week's motivational moment.
Speaker 1: I'm happy we're going to talk about getting a spring
Speaker 1: and that is a put Oh, yes, that is a
Speaker 1: pun in your step. I think we're really hard on
Speaker 1: ourselves with how we change our behavior or going to
Speaker 1: our shelves a little bit in winter. It's kind of
Speaker 1: meant to happen. Most of us are coming out of
Speaker 1: a winter sleep because we're supposed to eat differently and
Speaker 1: move differently in winter. There's a natural lack of motivation
Speaker 1: over the last three months that we've all experienced. But
Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you my three very simple
Speaker 1: top tips to get that spring back in your step
Speaker 1: now that spring is around the corner. Number one, get
Speaker 1: some morning sun and air. And I was chatting with
Speaker 1: a friend the other day and they said, I know,
Speaker 1: I feel so much better when I walk, But it's
Speaker 1: just getting started. Of course, it's just getting started. You've
Speaker 1: just got I have the strength to say I'm going
Speaker 1: to get to the end of my street, which sounds ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but you're never going to turn around. If you've taken
Speaker 1: the time to put your shoes on and get dressed,
Speaker 1: you are not going to get thirty meters down the
Speaker 1: road and turn around and go back home again and
Speaker 1: go tick that box. You will do twenty to sixty minutes.
Speaker 1: Walking is so underrated as a form of exercise and
Speaker 1: burning calories, and the extra benefit of getting that fresh air,
Speaker 1: getting that vitamin D on the face, on the skin
Speaker 1: is so powerful. So get out, take a big deep breath,
Speaker 1: get some fresh air, get some sun as early in
Speaker 1: the day as you can. I'm going to divert for
Speaker 1: one second. Everyone says, somemer bodies are made in winter,
Speaker 1: and I totally get it. Yep, great saying some bodies
Speaker 1: are made in spring, because everyone comes to me to say,
Speaker 1: what can I do? What can I do? What can
Speaker 1: I do for my summer holiday? And they've left it,
Speaker 1: They've got a month to go. Now is the time.
Speaker 1: The amount you can change your body and your habits
Speaker 1: in eight to twelve weeks. And trust me, I've seen
Speaker 1: this in the tens of thousands. I'm speaking well and
Speaker 1: truly from experience. Will blow your mind. If you want
Speaker 1: to lose fifteen gilos between now and summer, you can.
Speaker 1: If you want to be in the best shape of
Speaker 1: your life and you're forty five between now and summer
Speaker 1: and you're in okay shape, you can. Don't set the
Speaker 1: bar too low. What you can achieve in twelve weeks,
Speaker 1: if you actually apply yourself, will blow you away. I
Speaker 1: witness it firsthand on a daily basis, So please don't
Speaker 1: don't think it's not possible or think or even worse,
Speaker 1: think what others achieve you can't, because you absolutely can
Speaker 1: if you apply yourself. Number two, let's change up our
Speaker 1: diet and start eating seasonally. Let's move away from those
Speaker 1: heavy foods a little bit and get into seasonal fruits,
Speaker 1: seasonal veggies. Love salads with a few grains in them.
Speaker 1: Get the barbecue out, eat outside, Let's cook outside, eat outside,
Speaker 1: and embrace the fresh spring produces. They're all starting to
Speaker 1: come into season, and it's almost a new little treat
Speaker 1: on a weekly or fortnightly basis through spring and summer.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, the cherries are here, Ooh, the pineapple's here, ooh,
Speaker 1: the watermelon's here, or even foods that have been around
Speaker 1: all year round, but now they just taste good. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, watermelon's always been there, but doesn't tasted
Speaker 1: that good for six months. So start to embrace those
Speaker 1: fresh seasonal foods. The next one, let's change up your
Speaker 1: workout plan. Let's come up with something fresh. If you've
Speaker 1: been doing okay but in a pretty consistent routine. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite sayings, if nothing changes, nothing changes, So
Speaker 1: let's shake it up. Let's set ourselves a challenge. Let's
Speaker 1: do an extra workout. Let's do a different type of
Speaker 1: workout that gets out of our comfort zone. Let's make
Speaker 1: a twenty minute workout a thirty minute workout. Let's lock
Speaker 1: ourselves in for a fun run. Let's do a boxing
Speaker 1: class with a friend, whatever it might be. But I
Speaker 1: don't want you to do the same routine in spring
Speaker 1: that you did in winter or autumn. I need you
Speaker 1: to change at least one thing that is going to
Speaker 1: cause that little ripple effect, that little shock to your body,
Speaker 1: and get things perhaps if they've started to plateau moving again.
Speaker 1: That is you listen to us for this week, want
Speaker 1: to hear your feedback to what you've changed or how
Speaker 1: you've gone with implementing these three simple spring steps. And
Speaker 1: I look forward to walking past you in the street
Speaker 1: with a big smile in your face soon. So
