IT’S the thing that makes or breaks your workout routine – your plan! Your workout schedule influences your motivation and your willingness to work out. Without the desire to actually visit the gym or go to the park, you can’t make progress.
A study published in the Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology found that exercise motivation fluctuates week-to-week and even day-to-day across exercise plans. Researchers tracked 33 college students across two-and-a-half months – they found motivation across the group fluctuated significantly… the more the individuals made the effort to complete exercise one day, the more they were likely to exercise in the future too. According to research, if you get to the gym at the start of the week, it’s much easier to make it to sessions later in the week too!
So how do you stick to your workout plan and achieve all your fitness goals?
Successful workout plans are realistic, resistance-focused and include lots of short-term goals. Plan yours today, tell your friends and watch your progress soar!
