THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY
We all have different fitness goals, yours may be to do a deep squat, to tone arms or as simple as just to start going to the gym. Although our goals vary individually, when it comes to achieving our health and fitness, being consistent with the positive changes that we make to our lifestyle is the key. Success is not always about greatness, it is about consistency.
But, How can I be consistent in my fitness goals if sometimes I feel like I don't really want to do anything?
Check below few steps that will help you to develop consistency and stay on track of it
- Start with the 'end goal' in mind
Whether your goal is losing 5 lbs in one month or being able to do a handstand this summer, having defined the 'end goal' will help you to design a plan so you can follow consistently.
- Follow a training program
When you follow a training program, regardless of your fitness goals, you develop consistency in your fitness routine by mapping out a plan with your training days scheduled. If time is an obstacle for your consistency, having your training days scheduled in advance will help you to plan around and to stay consistent. Also, training programs are crucial to track results.
- Adapt
In order to progress and to get the results that you are looking for, your body needs to adapt. After each day of training, your body adapts and gets ready for a new amount of stress and load increased over time, which leads to increase strength and performance. Over time and with consistency, adaptation increases and our body changes, becoming stronger. We are able to run faster and to stretch easily which also increases our motivation and therefore our consistency. Also, when we are consistent and train on a regular base, our body releases endorphins that enhance our mood.
