Fitness Tip of the Day: Consistency

  • Quote: "A bad program done consistently will bring you far better results than the optimal program done once in a while." — Sal DiStefano
  • Common Struggles: Time, motivation, not seeing results
  • Benefits of Consistency:

    • Strategies for Staying Consistent:

    • Start Small: Commit to the easiest thing you can do consistently. If you feel like doing more in the moment, go ahead.
    • Calendar Commitment: Put your workout in your calendar as a non-negotiable appointment, like a doctor’s visit or an important meeting.
    • Track Progress: Find ways to track progress, such as progress pics, tracking weight increases, or waistline measurements.
    • Enjoyable Activities: Find activities you enjoy. If you like running, run. If you enjoy pickleball, play pickleball. Just incorporate some form of resistance training.

      • Personal Experience:

      • When I prioritize exercise and make it a non-negotiable part of my day, I see the best results. When life gets busy and I let my routine slip, I feel weaker, my energy and sleep suffer, and my appetite decreases.
