Less is More

What do you think is more valuable: working out for an hour once a week, or working out for 15 minutes five times a week? From a sheer quantity perspective, the latter obviously wins out. But this idea goes even deeper. Because it’s not just about what’s more effective. It’s about the reason behind it all, and what’s driving you.

Quality Encourages Quantity

If you go all out during a workout before you’re ready, you may get burned out and find that you don’t enjoy it. If you don’t enjoy working out, you’ll stop doing it for good. This is, obviously, the last thing you want, and it’s a great darn shame because you might have actually felt differently if you had a different routine in place.

You may have enjoyed working out a lot more if you’d only had to do 15 minutes a day. This would have led to consistency, which would’ve helped you achieve your goals as you originally planned. What this teaches us is that quality is more important than quantity in the workout realm because incidentally, quality will lead to greater quantity in the long run!

Set SMART Goals

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—setting goals is a huge motivator. Regardless of if you’re new to fitness or coming back to fitness, you need to set goals that are SMART: specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timebound.

Get Support

If you’re new to working out, recruit your friends and family to start on the journey with you. This will make you more accountable and it will give you social support.

Start Small

When you’re starting with fitness, it’s important not to rush into it. Over time you can increase your intensity.

Be Consistent

Stick to the same time and day to exercise, so it becomes a habit, instead of something you need to work into your schedule every week.

Have a Backup Plan

When something comes up in your schedule that gets in the way of working out, to help you stay on track, create a backup plan. If you usually work out before work, but you wake up late, plan for a 30-minute walk during your lunch break.
