Why Consistency is Key

One word always comes to mind – CONSISTENCY

Build and Follow a Workout Programme

Having a preplanned programme to follow makes it much easier to stick to your new routine because you won’t have to think about what workout you’re going to do today—it’s already planned for you. Most programmes are designed to be followed for a set amount of time, typically about 4 weeks and designed with your personal end goal in mind. If you aren’t following the programme consistently, the chance of it working is reduced.

Create Habits

Most of us have a routine in place that encompasses work, study, family, leisure and social arrangements. Your new fitness regime should be arranged to fit in with this routine to assist you in adhering to it – it should not necessarily replace one of those elements, which is more likely to result in early relapse.

Current research suggests that to create a habit it must be performed for 68 consecutive days. The idea of sticking with something brand new for 68 days may feel overwhelming for some people. When taking on a new challenge, focusing on taking it day by day might be a helpful mindset. Yes, we might be aiming to create a lifelong habit; however, thinking about just starting a habit to last for years could seem daunting. Start by doing it for one day, and then two, and then three, and so on.

Once you feel comfortable with one small change, add another small change, and so on. Small changes are more sustainable over the long term and add up to form new habits.

Life often throws a curveball at these routines; this happens us all. Don’t let it affect your long-term goal of what you want to achieve. If you miss a workout today for whatever reason life has thrown at you, ignore it and focus on getting the next one done– don’t dwell on it. There will likely be days that your plan doesn’t work out how it was supposed to, but that doesn’t mean all progress is lost.
