When it comes to achieving fitness goals, there’s one thing that’s more important than anything else. No, it’s not the number of reps you do. It’s not how much you can lift and it’s not how many minutes you can jog straight. The most important thing that’ll enable you to get from point A to point B is consistency. Here’s why consistency is the key to all of your workout success, and why you need to take it seriously.

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!
