Fitness Tip of the Day: Consistency
- Quote: "A bad program done consistently will bring you far better results than the optimal program done once in a while." — Sal DiStefano
- Common Struggles: Time, motivation, not seeing results
- Benefits of Consistency:
Strategies for Staying Consistent:
- Start Small: Commit to the easiest thing you can do consistently. If you feel like doing more in the moment, go ahead.
- Calendar Commitment: Put your workout in your calendar as a non-negotiable appointment, like a doctor’s visit or an important meeting.
- Track Progress: Find ways to track progress, such as progress pics, tracking weight increases, or waistline measurements.
- Enjoyable Activities: Find activities you enjoy. If you like running, run. If you enjoy pickleball, play pickleball. Just incorporate some form of resistance training.
Personal Experience:
- When I prioritize exercise and make it a non-negotiable part of my day, I see the best results. When life gets busy and I let my routine slip, I feel weaker, my energy and sleep suffer, and my appetite decreases.
