My big goal

Ok, guys. It’s a wrap. I have set a huge goal for this winter season.  I am leaving my beloved Ibiza for a full week of training in Thailand.  And by training, I mean serious training. Four hours every day to master Muay Thai. I am going to be sore, I am going to be destroyed and I will have to start preparing now to be able to cope with this as from NOW!

Facing my challenge

So let’s go back to the reason why I am facing this challenge. I started training at TWC-Ibiza in November 2014. After my pregnancy,  I gained a lot of weight and I was really wanting to become fit. At that time I had no clue how life changing this decision was.

By the time it was April I had lost over 20 centimetres on my hips, dropped 2 sizes of jeans and was getting back into shape. I was so impressed by this it made me realise I would love to help other people to reach the same results. So during  one of the small group sessions I  dropped the line:

“I am thinking about getting my  personal training license”.

Life changing, as coach Virgil started to motivate me to reach this goal too. So there  I went: studied like hell  during the busy summer, passed the exams  with flying colours and well…. .after a month’s internship at TWC-Ibiza, I became one of the coaches. Another goal achieved.

Goalsetting

And you know, setting a goal and actually reaching it, is such an amazing thing to  do. It gives you self confidence, it makes you push yourself,  believe in yourself and it  gives you a certain pride that  nothing else does.

So for me, it felt that I needed to set a new one. And trust me, a lot of goals passed through my thoughts before this Muay Thai thing came up. It’s serious strength and conditioning and I am so not ready for it yet! But: I WILL DO THIS! By myself, and with a little help from  Sascha and Virgil.

In the meantime, I am dying to help you guys to set some goals for this year. So feel free to jump on me (not literally please) and let’s make this a life-changing winter for all of us!!
