Even Boxers have trainers

Hello Guys........
Friday again, where has this week gone!? True what they say, the older you get the quicker time goes.
I had a conversation earlier this week and I was asked why really fit people come for training if they are already fit. It was the first time I was asked this......I am so used to the usual comments of 'I can't do bootcamp as I'm not fit enough'.
It's strange really as I always say that the idea of coming to bootcamp is to get fit. Anyway going back to the original comment of why those who are fit still come? Take any Sport.....we will use boxing as an example. A professional boxer at some point had no boxing experience what so ever........they will have had an interest in and found a class/coach. Then as they progress they will work with the coach on a regular basis, they will improve their fitness, technique, have someone pushing them to achieve their goals and eventually have their first fight.
This then turns into a second, third, fourth fight and so on and one day they will make it as a professional. However as soon as they have their first fight they don't sack their coach....... They work with them more to improve speed, power and learn how to avoid those punches!
Now in life we all take a few punches before we learn to get back up and fight back. That punch might be you do really well losing weight, then life takes over and you pile it all back on. It might be starting that fitness class which you find hard and don't want to go back. It is those that keep coming back and those that keep trying when the weight creeps back on that one day get the results they want. Unfortunatley there is no magic pill that makes us instantly thin or instantly fit. It take months even years of hard work, determination and dedication. Those that are fit that come to bootcamp still want the same motivation and pushing from a trainer as those that are walking through the door for the first time. No matter how good you are, being pushed and motivated by others can only make you stronger!
Just look at how many people boxers have in their 'corner' at a fight. They never go it alone and you don't have to either.
