Priorities

Fitness is about prioritising.  We can’t do everything. You can have lots of goals, and they can cover multiple disciplines or be very different to one another, but in reality at any given time you need to focus on one more than the other.

If you’ve multiple different types of events coming up, you’re going to need to focus your training to the event coming up as it draws nearer, as other elements of your routine perhaps drop off a little. If you’re a Les mills instructor and new releases are coming up, you’re probably going to find your own training pulls back a bit as you spend more time learning choreography and practicing moves. If you’re goals are aesthetic you might find you need periods in a calorie deficit and periods in a surplus as you focus on different things.  My point is, even if you consider yourself a Hybrid athlete because you don’t just do one thing, you will need to inevitably focus in on certain things at certain times in order to achieve various goals.

Part of being able to do this is accepting that you can’t do everything all the time and being flexible and prioritising what’s going to be most beneficial to you at that point, and then letting go of the thing you can’t do right now without stressing.  Trying to do everything at once makes it much less likely you’ll be able to succeed.
