are you having trouble with workout consistency find yourself getting
pulled off course on a regular basis well I've got some killer strategies to share
with you that'll help you stick with your fitness plan and reach your goals
hello Rebel Coach Jim here and in this video I'm going to be going over seven different concepts
that will help you finally get into a rhythm with your training now I've coached tons of beginners
and I see the same things trip them up over and over again are you ready let's jump right into the
list now the first concept i want to go over is that it's okay to stumble now i know what you're
thinking jim I'm watching this video because I want to work out consistently I don't want
to miss a workout but the problem is and what i see time and time again is that someone will
miss one workout or the workout won't be as long as they wanted and then they'll beat themselves up
over it they'll continue to be tough on themselves and just spiral out of control and then stop doing
workouts altogether while it's good to have high standards for ourselves this just isn't really a
sustainable way to go about things let me put it this way if being tough on yourself worked
it would have worked by now does this sound like you are you a little too tough on yourself
sometimes comment below with the words too tough here at nerd fitness we have a concept of
never two in a row so if you've got a day where you missed a workout or the workout wasn't quite
what you wanted that's fine just get right back into it the next day we're looking to avoid
missing two workouts and having that spiral into no workouts the next concept I want to go over is
have a plan as they say fail to plan plan to fail I want you to be specific with the plan what when
and where schedule it like it's the most important meeting of the day which it is if you're having
trouble figuring out a plan for the day check out our app Nerd Fitness Journey it tells you exactly
what to do each day for your workout nutrition and mindset link is in the description below
so we just talked about the concept of having a plan well the next concept is have a backup plan
just like I see people stumble a bit and then get discouraged I also see people get
really discouraged that they can't get their entire workout in they have this all or nothing
mentality it either has to be the best workout in the world or it's not worth it at all you
should have a backup plan for all the things that happen in your life when you're busy when you're
traveling the what should not be a surprise just the when all right my next concept for
workout consistency is make the workouts fun or find fun things to do not every workout has to
be a slog you can look to other activities like hiking or parkour or video games or during your
workouts you can listen to a favorite podcast or music or watch your favorite tv show or maybe a
change of environment would help if you're inside get outside if you're working out alone maybe meet
up with some friends there's a lot of different things we can do so that we actually look forward
to the workout and it doesn't feel like such a chore the next concept I want to talk about
is building accountability and community support now I talked in the last concept about working out
with your friends well even if you don't work out together you can still talk to them and tell them
your workout times and what you plan to do that's really going to help build up that support and the
consistency along with it if you're looking for an awesome community of nerds to help support you
check out our Nerd Fitness Journey app we have a fantastic community that helps support everyone
no matter what the level or goal and if you're looking for super accountability and support
check out our Nerd Fitness Coaching Program where we help people build consistent habits
and reach their fitness goals all right the next concept is really important so listen up
don't rely on motivation so many people think that they'll be motivated and then want to work out
when in actuality action creates motivation again i repeat action creates motivation
you want to start with anything that will help break the inertia because once you get things
moving it's a lot easier to keep the momentum going do you have a favorite activity that really
helps break the inertia comment below with the words inertia breaker and let us know what it is
and the last concept is equally as important don't think that you'll just
find the time to work out no one is just sitting around twiddling their thumbs with time to kill
so you have to figure out what to change or eliminate in your schedule to make the time
alright let's review that list again that will help you build your workout consistency first
it's okay if there are stumbles just pick things back up look for never two in a row
next have a plan know what when and where you're going to be doing your workout number three have a
back-up plan we know we're going to get busy we know life is going to throw us some curveballs
make sure you have a back-up plan before you're in the thick of it next find some fun activities
to do or make your workouts more fun there's a lot of different ways we can do this but if
we actually look forward to our workouts we're going to do them more consistently number five
build some accountability and community support this makes a huge difference especially on days
when you're feeling a little bit down next don't rely on motivation motion creates emotion and
it's the action which helps start the motivation not the other way around don't just sit around
waiting for motivation to show up and lastly don't just think that you will find the time to work out
we have to actively adjust our schedule to make the time and hopefully with some of these
concepts that i've just gone through you'll find making time for the workouts much easier hope all
