Do Yourself a Favor….

We all know, missing a day in the gym is flat out DEADLY! So Do Yourself A Favor…

Set a weekly plan. It’s Sunday night, typically you’re thinking about the week ahead; Your classes, papers that are due, meetings/appointments, and oh yeah how about you map out your week at the gym. This is simple and will work wonders. Seeing your schedule written out on paper will in its own way motivate you. So begin with Monday and continue on with the rest of the week. Block out a specific time slot that you will spend at the gym on that particular day. From here write a brief description of your workout for that day. What body parts will you work out? Will you do cardio? The more specific you are the better. You may even want to break down your entire workout exercise by exercise or even set by set. Whatever it may be, having your gym schedule written out at the beginning of your week will work wonders, and ensure that you don’t miss a much needed day at the gym.

Get a Buddy. We all know it. Working out at the gym alone, sucks. Not everyone has the self-motivation and dedication of a pro-athlete, so it’s always good to hit the gym with a friend. Find a workout buddy to get on that weekly plan with you. This way you’ll have each other to answer to when it comes time to whine about not wanting to go to the gym. With a buddy, you’ll rarely ever shy away from your workout plan and who knows you might even work out that much harder, pushing each other to get one more rep.

Stick to It. Seeing results in the gym is all about repetition and routine. One week of sticking to your workout plan isn’t going to do anything for you. So Do Yourself a Favor… Stay dedicated and stay motivated and you’ll soon see results.
