If you have decided that you will spare some time everyday for a workout at, you\u2019ve already taken the first important step on a journey of discovering fitness and health. But be warned! At the beginning, you will find that your enthusiasm is at an all time high and that translates into a fantastic workout. But over the next few months, you may also find that sticking to it gets harder and you have to drag yourself to the gym when watching a movie at home appears to be the more attractive alternative. Will you ever be able to pick yourself up and achieve your fitness goals? Of course you can. Here are a few tips that are guaranteed to help you stay focused on getting fit throughout the year-<\/p>\n

a) \u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s no surprise that people who work out with a partner<\/strong> or in a group stick to their fitness goals successfully and lose more weight too. Get your friend or partner to join you and you\u2019ll never be low on motivation again.<\/p>\n

b) \u00a0 \u00a0 Setting the right goals<\/strong> for yourself will give you the needed encouragement to push the limits a little bit more each time you workout. Take time to think about what goals you can achieve within a set timeframe and make sure that it challenges you the right way.<\/p>\n

c) \u00a0 \u00a0Sticking with the same workout regime can be boring after a few months and you may find that you aren\u2019t exactly getting the results that you hoped for. Why not mix up your routine <\/strong>a bit and try a combination of workouts? For instance, you could attend class twice a week, and go for a bush walk on the weekend, or on a couple of walks or runs before or after work. \u00a0You\u2019ll not only give your body a challenge but you\u2019ll also enjoy the workouts more.<\/p>\n

d) \u00a0 \u00a0Bet on it!<\/strong> \u00a0Get some healthy competition going with a few friends or colleagues by getting everyone to pitch in towards a prize like a weekend away or a shopping voucher. \u00a0The extra competition to help drive you to success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

e) \u00a0 \u00a0Read fitness related books <\/strong>and articles about people who have achieved their fitness goals. Besides learning a thing or two, you\u2019ll be motivated to keep working out at your own pace. After all, if they can get there, why can\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

f) \u00a0 \u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to eat healthy <\/strong>as well. If you continue to eat junk food everyday in the hope that working out will solve any weight issues for you, then you\u2019re wrong. Eating nutritious food in small quantities and at the correct time is very important for your health and will give you the energy you need for a good workout.<\/p>\n

g) \u00a0 \u00a0Reward yourself<\/strong> for all the effort you put in to get fitter. Have a meal at your favourite restaurant on the weekend or buy something that you really want. Rewarding yourself from time to time will motivate you to keep going till you strike off another goal from your list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Of course then I was in primary school and martial arts was mainly for fun, but over time I became more serious about my training. In 1992 I started teaching, and by 1998 I had opened my own club. Over the next few years the club continued to grow opening in more locations and adding more classes at the old locations. These were of course old school and church halls, and teaching children of all levels and ages together, and adults of all levels together. As the club continued to grow I started to feel that there had to be a better way to teach - you would never put year one and year seven students in the same class at school, so why did we do it teaching martial arts. Of course you wouldn't expect them to learn the same things either. I also felt that adults weren't getting all they could from the classes in a one size fits all format. In addition to this, I wanted to take a more holistic approach to training, looking at all aspects of physical and mental health. In 2002 I decided the way forward was a full-time facility that could integrate all these aspects of health, and that would allow classes to be split by age and experience level. It took two years and a couple of false starts to find the right location, and in late 2004 work started on BTC. In 2011 we purchased and custom fitted our own building. Since then the centre has continued to go from strength to strength and developed a solid reputation as a leader in the martial arts and sports industry. We have also managed to maintain a friendly family orientated and social atmosphere within the club. My personal background was originally in martial arts, although I formally studied Science at QUT. Over the years I broadened both my martial arts knowledge and general knowledge of health and well being. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals and exceed their every expectation. I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet & nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.
