“I tried to skip my workout… the universe said “lol no”
If you have ever had this thought, keep reading. 🤪
If staying consistent with workouts sometimes feels harder than choosing what to watch on Netflix (which, unfortunately cannot be counted as a sport) THIS SHORT PIECE IS FOR YOU!
First things first, you’re not alone.
The secret that fitness influencers usually fail to share is this:
Consistency partially involves tricking your brain into doing things it doesn’t feel like doing.
And lucky for many of us, our brains are surprisingly easy to trick.
Let me explain…to STRIVE CONSISTENCY we must,
1. Make your workouts realistic and sometimes stupidly small.
I am talking so small our brains can’t object.
So NO, if you are not there,
Not “45-minute HIIT.”
Not “5-mile run.”
More like:
– 10 squats
– One stretch
– Stand up dramatically and call it “core activation”
BOOM. You’re consistent.
2. As often as possible, piggyback your workout with something you already do every day.
This is called “habit stacking,” but I prefer “sneaking exercise into your routine like a toddler sneaks cookies.
Examples:
– After coffee → 1 minute of movement
– After brushing your teeth → 10-second plank
– After scrolling Instagram → put the phone down and walk away (cardio!)
Soon your routine will bully you into exercising. Perfect.
3. Redefine what counts.
Spoiler: everything counts.
Did you walk fast because you were late? Cardio.
Carried groceries in one trip? Strength training.
Squatted to pick up something you dropped? Functional fitness, baby.
The point is: consistency comes from doing something, not everything.
Today’s challenge (you’re gonna love this)
Do 30 seconds of movement right NOW.
If you blink aggressively, technically that’s reps.
If you do an actual squat, you’re an overachiever.
Either way—you win.
Consistency isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about showing up a little more often than you disappear.
And if you can do that?
You’re already crushing it.
You’ve got this (and so do your muscles, even if they’re still asleep).
