“How can I make exercise a more regular part of my routine?”
This is a good question, and a common struggle many of us share.
My advice, as someone who’s exercised consistently for 17 years?
Keep it specific and simple.
Recent research from the journal of Psychology & Health showed that people were more likely to form and stick to an exercise habit when they 1) were specific in what they were going to do and when, and 2) kept the routine simple.
So, instead of trying to “exercise a few times this week,” try instead to, “go to the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2 p.m. and train my whole body with a push, a pull, and a leg exercise each session.”
The more specific, simple, and repeatable you can keep your exercise, the more likely you are to make it a regular part of your routine.
As a bonus, you’ll be able to more reliably track progress, which helps you stay motivated and consistent in the long run.
Hope this helps. Love you lots.
