Need a Consistency Reset?

A key to long-term fitness success is consistency.

Consistency requires doing the same thing over and over again, which makes it difficult to persevere.

Here are some helpful ideas to bust out of a training rut.

Shake it up - Train at a different time of day. Normally an evening person? Squeeze in a noon during your lunch break just to stop the monotony of hitting the gym at the same time every day.

Seek Context - Not sure why you're doing what you're doing? Ask your coach and they should give you some good insights to the inner working of your training program. A little bit of direction goes a long way.

Train with a Friend - Schedule a workout with a buddy and have them jump in on your workout or vise versa.

Time off - Maybe you need a week to hit the reset button. This one is a slippery slope, for sure. However, a little time away from the gym can be just what you need to get back on track. Especially if you've been working towards a goal and it’s time to shift gears.
