I’ve been a coach for the past 25 years. During that time I’ve watched people try to find the perfect exercise, workout program, or diet. But the truth is that everything works, and nothing works. It all depends on one simple thing, the secret to real progress… consistency.
You see, progress isn’t about the intensity of a single workout or the strictness of a particular diet. It’s about showing up, day in and day out, and putting in the work. Whether you’re hitting the gym, pounding the pavement, or tackling a CrossFit WOD, the key is to keep showing up consistently, three to five times a week.
So, how do you make consistency easier? It starts with commitment. Schedule your workouts like appointments, locking them into your calendar just like any other important meeting. Whether it’s partnering up with a friend or booking sessions with a trainer, having accountability can make all the difference.
Remember, a goal without a plan is just a wish. Don’t rely on vague intentions like “I’ll try to exercise three times a week.” Instead, make concrete plans and stick to them. Treat your workouts as non-negotiable commitments, and watch as they gradually become ingrained habits.
Over time, these habits will morph into your lifestyle, defining who you are and what you prioritize. Don’t get bogged down by questions of perfection—whether it’s the ideal workout or the optimal diet. What truly matters is consistency. It’s about showing up, rain or shine, and putting in the effort, day after day.
Take it from someone who’s been in the fitness game for decades—waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect program is a fool’s errand. It’s the small, consistent actions that yield real results in the long run. So, lace up your sneakers, grab your gym bag, and remember: showing up today is far more important than waiting for the perfect tomorrow.
