Keeping the Momentum

Summer’s coming to an end and it’s easy to lose motivation. The pressure to look good in a bikini and in skin baring fashions diminishes, while vacations filled with libations and irresistible culinary delights make it hard to stay on track. On top of it, a lot of beach workouts and beach fitness programs, which are especially inspirational for many, come to an end. What to do?

Thankfully, I work out with BMA and seasonal factors no longer play a role in my mindset. Rain or shine, I’m still getting my work out on, no matter what. My personal training sessions are set in my schedule, regardless of the opportunity winter brings to cover up and hibernate. It’s all because of what I’ve learned in the past few months of training, and it’s not just about the actual conditioning methods we explore or the exercises I do. It’s about the value of my workout.

Training is no longer an option—it’s a necessity that grounds me in every other area of my life. It’s an appointment I have to be deathly sick or out of state to cancel, because I know it’s what helps me keep it all together, no matter what else is happening in my life. My training, whether it’s a group workout, a one-on-one personal training session or a personal training combo, becomes both a physical and mental foundation that is integral to both my personal and professional success.

It doesn’t matter where I train—though I do love my Venice Beach workouts and personal training in Santa Monica—as long as I squeeze some form of conditioning fitness into my week. BMA’s taught me to integrate exercise into my daily activities and to appreciate every opportunity to do so. Ideally, I make it to my BMA private training—but if I can’t, I do it on my own. As I long as I work out, I know it’s all going to be good and that I’ll be able to take on all the challenges I face with a clear head and a strong body. What more can you ask for?
