What do you do when work, family, or life upsets your perfectly planned schedule? What do you do when there are changes that affect your ability to get in the gym? Many start off strong with a training program, but then somewhere they get lost. Maybe the kids are home, the job changes and all the sudden you have to reschedule things. So what do you do?
What I recommend is that people be flexible and adept to the new circumstances. The goal isn’t to show up every day at the time you like to go at, the goal is to get the shit done. Most people are not adaptable and get hung up on the small schedule changes. You will want to be adaptable and pre-plan for the schedule changes that you anticipate throughout the year.
Some different ways to look at it are:
- Find a new time to go to the gym.
- Work out from home (we’ve got some great videos!)
- Compromise with your spouse.
- Plan for Holidays and vacations.
- Don’t let the changes in your schedule interfere with your gains and goals.
Being adaptable is the key to success when sticking to a fitness schedule. Stop making excuses and start planning for when the times are tough. Be grateful for the challenge, it will help you learn discipline.
The skill of discipline will help you with your life and fitness journey. If you never learn discipline, you will always be subject to changes in schedules and seasons. Learn the discipline now and utilize it in all aspects of your life.
