Today is 18th June.
By tomorrow, over 70% of the people who joined a gym in January will have stopped showing up. This is a shame, because the real key to fitness and health is consistency.
To build a lifelong fitness practice:
- You have to find an exercise you like;
- You have to have an appointment to exercise (not just the desire);
- You have to be accountable to someone else (like a coach or training buddy).
Think about the fittest person you know. I’m willing to bet:
- They love their workout, whether it’s running or pickup hockey or CrossFit;
- They do it at the same time, all the time;
- They have a list of friends who they only know because of their chosen workouts.
These people aren’t more social than anyone else. They’re not exercise fanatics. They don’t have more time in their day. They’re not more disciplined, don’t have more willpower–there’s nothing that makes them “born to be fit”.
It’s the other way around:
- They tried a few things until they found something they like;
- They work out because they’ve scheduled their workout in their day, not because they have more ‘free time’ than anyone else;
- They have a coach or a group or a buddy who makes sure they show up on time.
Nic and Scott recently celebrated attending 250 classes - now that’s consistency!
