💡 1. Set a Non-Negotiable Training Schedule
The biggest mistake? Leaving your workouts up to “when I have time.” If it’s not in your calendar, it’s not happening. Treat your training like a work meeting—set specific days and times.

📌 Try This:

• Commit to three weekly workouts at the same time each week.
• Block out those times in your calendar like you would a meeting.
• Communicate to friends/family that these sessions are non-negotiable.

💡 2. Make Progress Visible (Track Your Strength)
When you don’t see progress, it’s easy to quit. Tracking strength progress (not just weight loss) gives you clear markers of improvement, keeping you engaged.

📌 Try This:

• Log your squat, deadlift, and bench press numbers each session.
• Use progress photos & body composition tracking instead of relying solely on the scale.
• Celebrate small wins, like lifting 5kg more than last month or completing an extra rep.

💡 3. Join a Structured Program Instead of ‘Winging It’
Random workouts = random results. A structured program removes decision fatigue and gives you clear direction on what to do next.

📌 Try This:

• Follow a personal training program built around your goals.
• Stick to the same program for at least 6 weeks (instead of switching workouts randomly).
• Focus on compound movements (squat, deadlift, bench, chin-ups) to build strength efficiently.

💡 4. Surround Yourself With Accountability
It’s easier to stay consistent when someone expects you to show up. The best athletes have coaches for a reason—because external accountability removes excuses.

📌 Try This:

• Train with a coach who guides your progress & keeps you on track.
• Join a group training program for extra motivation & support.
• Find a workout partner who won’t let you cancel last minute.

💡 5. Shift Your Mindset: Aim for ‘Showing Up,’ Not Perfection
Too many people quit because they miss one workout and feel like a failure. Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on showing up more often than not.

📌 Try This:

• If you only have 30 minutes, still train—half a session is better than none.
• Stop the ‘All or Nothing’ mindset. One missed workout doesn’t ruin progress.
• Focus on consistency over intensity. The person who trains regularly at 70% effort wins over the person who trains hard but inconsistently.
