Motivated to Walk
Our Beginners Walking Coach Program starts in a few weeks and I wanted to share with you one of the daily motivation emails our clients receive. Each day they are assigned how many minutes to walk, a motivation quote and my encouragement to them to never give up. You will be intersted in this coaching program if you want to begin your walking program to build strength and endurance and be successful in reaching your goals. Watch for more information over the next two weeks. Here is one of the daily emails they receive during the program:
“I am here to coach you through this walking program so you will never “give up”; but, “try it one more time”. At a luncheon one of the ladies asked me why I think she would start walking and then after about two weeks she would quit. I had only one question for her “why did you think you wanted to walk”. She had not answered. Then I asked her “what is your motivation to walk”? Last question: “What were you seeking to solve when you started your walking program”? Her response was “I never thought of it in any of those ways”.
I explained to her unless she understands the “why to walk” and make a commitment to a walking program she will continue to give it up. Is she lazy – absolutely not! She just does not have her motivation statement that she can read over each day and form her commitment to this healthy activity. If you do not have your motivational statement completed, do it now and never give up on yourself!”
