Do you struggle to stick to your regular workout program? Accountability and motivation may not be what you are lacking. Find out more here…
It can be very frustrating to get overwhelmed with your workout program before it even truly begins. I’ve worked with so many women who quit before they truly even get started because the workout program just wasn’t right for them.
When we begin working together, we will begin by looking at your goals. Perhaps your goal is to lose 15 pounds, perhaps it’s to run a half marathon or build more energy and stamina or even lower your cholesterol. So once we have established your goal, we may establish a concrete end date or at least a check in date and reverse engineer form there. Then we will look at the time you realistically have available to dedicate yourself to the necessary steps it will take for you to reach your personal fitness goal.
So let’s say you want to run a half marathon in 2020. You would choose one you want to do, so let’s say you choose on in July. Then from there we would set up a 12 week plan for you to prepare and train for your race. Or let’s say your goal is to lose 15 pounds, we would set a check in date on March 30th, for example, to check in on your weight, how much fat you have lost, muscle you have gained, etc.
Now you start to get into the guts of the workout program. So if your goal is to run a half marathon in July and we create a training program for you to follow, will you be running twice or three times a week? It depends on what is realistic for your life. If your goal is to lose 15 pounds, how many days a week is it realistic for you to workout? Three.. four? Then we will put together the necessary daily workouts for the amount of days YOU CAN REALISTICALLY workout.
There is no reason to think in your mind you are going to workout five or six days a week when you know that is not conducive to your schedule. If you do that you are setting yourself up for failure. Instead, let’s work with what you have available and go from there. It doesn’t mean you are a slacker or that you cannot reach your goals. In fact, you will be more likely to reach them because you are following a program that is sustainable for you, so not only are you more likely to reach your goals, but you are more likely to stay at that level of fitness because you will not experience burnout along the way.
So if we only have two.. three.. four.. days to follow you workout program, you can still make progress with that. I regularly work with clients where we split the workouts into one upper body and one lower body strength training day each week. We throw quick HIIT workouts in after lifting too, and they are making progress!
