Hi everybody it's CJ Johnson.
Workouts can be tough. Take it from somebody who 15 years ago had a hard time keeping a three day a week walking program. The 3 tips I'm about to share with you have been things that have helped me really take my brain out of it and get into a routine that I have stuck with for the last 14 -15 years.
The very first one is Plan It.
You might have a schedule that's 8-5 you can work out at the same time every day or every evening for me it's just not that way. It bounces around all the time what I do is I sit down with my planner on Sunday nights. I take a look at my week. I put in every commitment that I have. Once that's finished I now put in my workout commitments. Where does it have to happen first thing in the morning then maybe it can happen at lunch. I rarely leave it after lunch what I found for me is if I leave it doesn't get done. So I put the time I'm going to be working out into my schedule but I take it one step further. I plan what I'm going to be doing. As I mentioned a well-rounded workout has four components to it you've got core training, you've got strength training
you've got flexibility, you also have your aerobic conditioning. What are you going to be doing on what specific day? Besides that what exactly will you do?
So if I'm going to do core exercises am I doing Pilates on that day? What would my workout routine be. I want to take my brain out of it because I know this if my brain is in it it’s going to talk me into not working out.
The second thing I do is Make It Easy.
Now that I've planned what I'm going to do during the week I don't want anything to stand in my way of doing that routine. I put out my exercise clothes the night before or I pack a gym bag if that's what I'm going to be doing. If I'm on the bike I take the bike out, grease up the chain, put my helmet out i put my gloves out. I get it ready to go. I don't want anything to get in my way of doing my workout routine. Get all those excuses gone.
Then the last thing I do is Respect It.
I respect it just as I would any other appointment. If I made a commitment to you that I'm going to meet you at a given place in a given time you can count on the fact that I'm going to be there. That's the same respect that I give to my weekly workout routine. I won't cheat you this is not time to cheat myself.
They sound easy but in reality they can be really hard to stick to however these 3 tips can be the cornerstone of your workout routine.
Take them put them into practice.
