Lockdown Life Training Tips Elaborated - Get In A Routine

Getting in a routine with your training can be one of the best ways to help improve your adherence to your training routine.

Make training part of your routine

As the somewhat cliched adage goes motivation can only take you so far, discipline is what will see you through.

Commit to training a certain number of days per week. This will of course be dependant on many factors that influence your life such as work or kids but generally speaking 3 to 5 training sessions per week is a good starting point.

By having set days and times for your training sessions you can build them into your daily and weekly routine. This can make a huge difference at times when motivation wanes and allow you to fall back on the discipline of your routine to help you push through.

Build your schedule around training

Part of it at least. For example, if you train 4 evenings per week try to build your schedule around your training on those evenings.

This might mean taking steps such as:

🔹Lining up zoom calls with family and friends on different evenings.

🔹Scheduling the weekly shop on a night when you don't train.

🔹Keeping the time free to train on certain evenings after the kids have gone to bed.

These simple strategies can be very valuable as they can make the difference between getting the training sessions done or not.
