▪️Everyone starts somewhere, this was mine. I used to be skinny, not particularly strong, and with no real idea what I was doing.
▪️At first, just started lifting, then I kept turning up.
❗️Not perfectly.
❗️Not consistently .
❗️But i still turned up
🙄 Life happened, as it does being a father to two SEN children , some days training went well,other days it went to s***!
🛑 I stopped,
💪🏻 I started again,
❌ I made mistakes and learned plenty the hard way.
❤️ But I had a lot of help along the way — good coaches, good training partners and people who knew more than I did and were willing to share it.
🤔 That’s something worth remembering, because nobody walks into a gym already knowing what they’re doing.🤷🏼♂️
▪️Progress isn’t a straight line, and you don’t have to do it alone.
❗️You don’t need to get fit before you start.
❗️You don’t need to be strong already.
❗️You definitely don’t need to compare your beginning to somebody else’s years of work.
☑️ Start where you are.
☑️ Ask for help.
☑️ Learn.
☑️ Get things wrong.
☑️ Keep turning up.
💪🏻 Strong isn’t where you start. It’s something you build.
