In the last step, you identified the things that usually get in the way when you try to stay consistent.
Now we’re going to use that information to choose a starting plan – not your “forever” one.
In the video below, I walk you through how to pick:
- One workout focus
- And an optional nutrition focus
That’s it. Two things, max.
Here’s the key idea I want you to keep in mind as you make this decision:
We’re building consistency first.
We can always level up later if things feel too easy.
How to decide on (fast recap)
Exercises
- Take a look at your schedule and resolve what number of brief exercises per week are lifelike
- Write: “I’ll work out ___ instances per week”
Vitamin (non-obligatory)
- Choose one focus.
- Intention for 5 instances per week, not day by day
- Write: “I’ll concentrate on ___ 5x per week”
5 instances per week provides you flexibility and momentum.
If you happen to’re questioning “what precisely ought to I choose?”
Listed below are the most typical beginning factors we suggest:
For exercises
For vitamin
- Embody protein with meals
- Embody fruits or veggies with meals
- Or do a brief meals log to get a baseline (written, images, app, and many others.)
You don’t want the “greatest” choice – simply the one you’re most certainly to stay with.
Your motion step
Fill out Part 2: Core Practices on the worksheet.
Choose your exercise focus. Optionally, choose one vitamin behavior. Write them down.
From right here, your job is to do the factor. Every time you full a exercise or your vitamin focus, fill in a single part of the monitoring ring.
Later, we’ll speak about the best way to deal with the times when issues don’t go in accordance with plan – and the best way to modify as soon as this begins feeling simpler.
