Last Tuesday (the 6th) I mentioned that I’ve been watching the TV series Cobra Kai with my two older sons.

We’d actually finished on the Monday but, you know, I write these bad boys in advance (I’ll cover why tomorrow).

My goodness the final episode of Series 3 was good!

Even if you’ve never seen anything to do with Karate Kid, if you were alive in the 80s, you probably heard people say “Wax on, wax off. Paint the fence”.

My Miyagi, the Karate sensei, had Daniel-san (his student) waxing his car and (you guessed it) painting his fence.

Not as slave labour.

But to help him create “muscle memory” of certain movements.

Which then helped him learning certain karate moves when they got to that part of his training.

Getting the reps in when it’s relatively easy is key to then being able to do that thing when it’s more challenging.

We probably wouldn’t learn much about Karate by getting beaten up by a black belt, would we?

Lots of relatively easy, marginal ‘stretch’ reps that make a little forward progress add up though.

Create that ‘muscle memory’ for the less frequent greater challenges, don’t they?

And it’s the same in all areas.

Little better food choices here and there………

Individual workouts……….

Decisions to go to bed earlier, to not have a drink tonight, to try a meditation, etc……..

They don’t do much by themselves.

But they add up over time.

And they mean that when we’re faced with the greater challenges, we have that volume of training behind us.

When we require more of our body, it has that muscle memory.

When we’re faced with some more challenging eating related situations, it’s not our first rodeo.

Get those easy reps in while you can………..

Wax on, wax off.

Paint the fence.
