Your Workout Plan: Scheduling Your Way To A Better Body

Your Workout Plan: Scheduling Your Way To A Better Body
Working out can be tough. Do you want to know one of my
best secrets that will help you guarantee you exercise
every day and get into better shape permanently?

I hope so, because here it is.

It's a little strategy that can very much help you or
anyone to make sure that you get your physical activity in
every day. What is it?

Simply put you have to schedule your workouts into your day
just like it was a business meeting or a proposal or
anything else that is mandatory in your life.

If you just go through the day you will never find the time
for your workout or exercise session. You have to make the
time, just like you would with any other important
activity. Even if it's just a quick exercise session using
only your bodyweight.

A good way to summarize this up is with a quote by Stephen
Covey: "The Key is not to prioritize what's on your
schedule, but to schedule your priorities."

Just like with anything in life if it is important enough
to you, you will find a way to fit it in your daily life,
no matter what you think your current schedule is like!

This is perhaps the most important concept for dramatic
results. It's the first base to weight loss. Just getting
your workouts into your overall fitness plan.

Without those scheduled workouts planned into your weekly
schedule, there's a fairly high change that you will not do
them at all.

You'll just go through each day waiting for that "perfect"
opportunity for your workout, which seems to never come
your way.

You then find out it's 9PM and you still haven't gotten
your exercise in. So you just decide to put it off until
"tomorrow", however, we all know that "tomorrow" is never
"today".

So this cycle of tomorrows never ceases and you stay the
same.

Break this pattern of insanity and start today by
scheduling your workouts into your schedule as mandatory
appointments. And not just the exercise, whether it's the
food prep, meal planning, cooking dinner, making your whole
week of meat, cutting up veggies, or any other activity
that will help progress you along your quest for fitness.

Put these activities along with working out into your
weekly schedule that can't be broken. Then plan weach week
at the beginning of the week so you schedule your workouts
as priorities above all other tasks.

If you need to start by clearing out all the garbage (junk
food) in your pantry, then start with that.
