Consistency is Key - Fitness in 5

Kyle Erwin

How many times have you started a new routine, diet, exercise program, etc., only to quit a week or two in? We tell ourselves the same thing over and over again:

“It’s just not for me. I need something different.”

When the truth is, we didn’t give that new thing enough time to make the changes we were hoping for.

Here’s the thing: You probably don’t need something new, better, exciting or “different”.

You just need to stick with something for more than 7 days.

You’re not going to see the scale move much that first week.

You’re not going to be making huge gains on those barbell lifts that first week.

You’re not going to enjoy changing your food choices that fist week.

And that’s okay! Your main concern those first 1 to 2 weeks should be to be consistent.

And those next 3-4 weeks should be focused on…being consistent.

And the next 5-6 weeks should be about…you guessed it…consistency.

Real change doesn’t take place for at LEAST 3 months. So what’s the rush? Fast results often lead to results lost fast.

Take time to build your foundation to make sure it’s solid and firm, so a few years down the road you can look back and say “Imagine where I would be right now if I didn’t stay consistent back then?”

Consistency is key. Don’t underestimate it.
