Mission Statement:

Use my 4 pillars of health to build a base of fitness, whereupon I am capable of achieving any goals with minimal specialisation.

The four pillars are: Speed, Strength, Flexibility and Diet.

Flexible

I am not a Yogi, I could quite happily drop Yoga and Pilates out of my exercise schedule. I do not particularly enjoy it. However, if anything that is a reason to do it more.

If I only did things I enjoyed I would be sat in a pub, watching the football with a pint of real ale and a pizza on order. I would also be the size of a house and feel like crap.

Too many people are stuck in comfort zones nowadays, only doing things they like or are in the habit of doing. Never considering new and interesting things to do or try out. It is a child’s mentality really. So by setting goals I want to achieve, it is my responsibility to do what is necessary to achieve them.

For me, this means including flexibility exercises into my weekly routine, as this will get me closer to achieving a whole host of goals I have set. Flexibility is also very important for my health-span, as I fully intend to be fit and active until the day I am in the dirt.

The best way I have found to incorporate flexibility into my routine is to do it little and often. So rather than say going to a Yoga class, twice a week for an hour at a time. I have just made Yoga a part of my Miracle Morning routine. I just go on YouTube and search for Yoga videos. For the first 8 weeks or so I will be sticking to the same couple of Yoga videos, as they will build up a nice initial base of flexibility. Then I can branch out a bit without feeling like a stiff failure haha.

I have done similar things in the past, but have never stuck to it for more than a few weeks. I will not stop this time, I have too many goals to achieve to fail at such a simple step. Previously I found that even just 10 minutes a day for a couple of weeks, would noticeably improve my flexibility. If you say you can’t find 10 minutes a day to work out, then you are lying.
