3 Keys to Sticking with a Strength Training Plan
Consistency over intensity. Everyone wants to be heroic when they first start. Instead, focus on showing up. Some of your workouts should be easier or shorter initially. Aim for 2-3 days a week instead of the overly ambitious 4-5. Play the long game and you’ll stay healthy and make it a sustainable habit.
Do a private session - strength training is not one size fits all. There are no exercises, weights or pieces of equipment that are perfect for everyone. If you’re nervous, doing a private session with a coach and getting properly assessed will determine what ranges of motion you have, things to stay away from and give you some measurable goals to improve upon.
Talk to someone! Figure out an action plan, create some measurable and attainable goals to hold yourself accountable. This won’t work if you decide to do it on a whim. Talking to a coach means you have someone on your side looking out to help you stick with your new habit.
