I have just started at a Wing Tsun school, and my first lesson was so hard, that i thought that I was not going to get through it, I loosened up by the end of it, but it was tough, I'm starting again tonight, but slightly dredding it. Does anyone have any tips on motivation techniques?
I find the best motivation is to arrange to go to exercise classes with someone else and then not to think about it until I have to start getting ready; by that point it's too late to cancel. Apart from that I would agree with JoggerJayne.
The first time is the hardest, will get used to the physical effort and then you'll enjoy pushing yourself and afterwards you'll be glad you did it so keep gong and give yourself a little reward at the end, mine's a bit of chocolate.
