You keep falling off
Again
And again
You say, “This time I’m all in.”
But by week 3, life hits… and you’re right back where you started
And every time you quit…
It chips away at your confidence
It gets harder to believe you’ll ever stick with it
You’re not lazy
You’re not broken
You just don’t have a system
Let’s fix that
Here’s how I help my clients build consistency that actually lasts:
1. Set a realistic schedule
Stop trying to train 6 days a week if your life can only handle 3
Start small. Build momentum.
Hitting 100% of your workouts 3 days a week is ten times better than hitting 40-60% of your workouts trying to workout 6 days a week
And let’s be real…you don’t need to be in the gym 6 days a week
2. Pick the same workout days each week
Turn your gym sessions into appointments on the calendar
You block off time slots for meetings and special events. Do the same with your workouts.
Same days. Same time.
3. Follow a plan built for YOU
Winging it with random workouts you find on the internet leads to burnout and frustration
You need direction and a clear step by step blueprint for you to follow based off your weaknesses and goals
4. Track your progress
You’re not unmotivated…you’re just unsure if it’s working
Tracking your daily weight, weights used, food consumed, energy levels, etc gives you proof.
Proof builds belief and will keep you encouraged to keep going
5. Create a pre-gym ritual
Wear the same 3-4 outfits. Same playlist. Same process.
I put a piece of gum in when it’s time to lock in and get after it as an example of something I do
6. Set behavior goals, not outcome goals
Don’t focus on “losing 20 lbs”…
But rather “train 3 days this week and track all my food”
Stack small wins. Let them snowball.
7. Accept that motivation will fade
Discipline > motivation
The days you don’t want to go are the ones that matter most
You don’t need another perfect plan
You need a system you can actually follow
Day after day.
Week after week.
Even when life gets messy.
