When you have a plan, you’re more likely to stick to it. The more things you have scheduled in your day and your calendar as a plan, the more free time you’re going to have. People say “I just don’t have time to work out. I don’t have the time to do this”.
But what is your day spent doing? What are you doing with the 12, the 24 hours you have in a day?
The more specific you are in your calendar, the more free time you can have to do the things that you love. Make sure that you have your training in your calendar and that you give it the importance of a work meeting that you won’t cancel. If you have a meeting with a friend or a happy hour or a meeting with your boss or a colleague, you’re probably not going to cancel, right? So why are you canceling on yourself? If you want to bring your best self to the table, you have to take the time to move and honour your body.
You might be wondering, well, how many days am I supposed to train? What matters the most is that you choose an amount of days where you can be successful. So many times people commit to doing 6 days of training per week only to not be able to make that happen because it’s not realistic to where they are in their lives. You have to take the time to not only create this schedule, but test it to reflect that it is working for you.
Take the time for yourself.
Don’t get so caught up that you don’t have the perfect location to execute your workout. What’s important here is that you take the time for yourself. You put it in your calendar, you set aside the time, and you get it done. If, for some reason, things are not working out for you on a consistent basis, reflect! Figure out what you can do better, what you can do differently to set yourself up for success. When making your training schedule, there’s no right or wrong way, figure out what works best for you. Say: “Where am I right now? Where do I want to be in the next month or the next week? By the end of this year? What little steps do I need to get there?”
Map that out, put that in your calendar, make your training schedule, test it out, make adjustments. If you need to bring some friends on board, tell people about it, get excited because you can do this.
