🟣 I 💜 Mondays

Magic exists.

Before you panic, I’ve not gone woo-woo

I don’t believe that shiny rocks can change my destiny

I don’t believe that potatoes grown with moon water make the best chips

And sorry to be a party pooper but David Blane is simply a man with a confinement fetish

But although I don’t believe in licking crystals, I do believe in Monday magic

Even on bank holidays

Mondays get a bad press

And I used to think of them as the equivalent of Brussel sprouts on your Christmas dinner 

The thing you have to get through in order to get to the good stuff

But as a PT, I’ve come to see that Mondays are also fucking magic

They’re the day where the slate feels like its been wiped clean

When your soul feels ready to take the week on and smash it

When you’re unburdened by any sense of having to ‘catch up’ on your slip ups

I mean name another day that can have us launching ourselves out of bed like we’ve necked a quad-shot espresso

Hit it right, and they’re the tits.

However, unfortunately we also use them as an excuse to put things off

We’ve all done it… 

I’ll wait till next Monday to start the new meal plan

I missed my Weds gym session – I’ll start again fresh on Monday

It’s a bank holiday Monday this week, I’ll sit tight till the week after

And this is where Mondays are less magic

Because if you’d carried on rather than put things off till the following Monday?

That could have been another 5 days of progress banked

But instead you’re counting on that Monday magic to see you right

There are two lessons here my crispy lil Chrimbo sprout

First – progress is progress whether it exists as part of a perfect week or not

Showing up more often, regardless of the day of the week, is going to get you further faster

It’s fine if you fuck up a little in the middle (because you will fuck up)

But the hard bit is staying consistent when you fuck up

Second – why are we limiting Monday magic to Mondays?

Monday magic is a mindset

And is actually something we can get a hit of whenever we damn well please (including bank holidays)

Conducted a mid-afternoon fridge raid because you’re WFH?

Tripped into the pub after work and sunk a few pints?

Vending machine at the kids gym club just too tempting this week?

After your moment of fuck-uppery, sprinkle some Monday magic on your pretty little head

The blank slate starts now

‘Fuck it button’ avoided.

Days of progress saved.

If the new fitness routine starts this week, the Bits app could be a stellar companion to keep you on track

Form vids, bags of progressive programmes and in-app calorie tracking all to be found in there

Your 7 day free trial is ready and waiting, no contract so no strings attached

BITS TRIAL

And if you’re having difficulty summoning that Monday magic, 

And you’ve grown tired of stalling every time you aim to get your fitness wiggling forwards

Work with us on a 1-to-1 basis

1-1 COACHING

I dare you to not make mad fucking progress with us fully by your side :)

Have a great short week all, and no shade on those of you who choose to lick a crystal, have your palm felt up or dance naked in a stone circle…

You do you.

Big love,
