495 - Fell Off Track? 5 Steps to Get Back Into Your Fitness Routine
Your clothes were fitting better. You were getting stronger. You had more energy. Maybe you even lost 10 pounds. Then summer happened. A few missed workouts turned into a few more. There were more dinners out, more takeout, a vacation (or two), and before you knew it, your workout and nutrition routines had completely fallen apart. Now you're looking at the calendar thinking, “How the heck do I get back on track?” In this episode, we give you 5 practical steps to help you rebuild your fitness routine without trying to make up for lost time or punish yourself for being inconsistent. You'll learn: • Why you shouldn't try to make up for missed workouts or “undo” the damage with extreme dieting • How to restart your strength training, including how many days to train, how to choose your weights, and when to reduce your training volume • Why setting a non-workout activity goal can help you rebuild momentum • How to use a 90% consistency goal instead of chasing perfection • Specific nutrition targets for protein, fruits and vegetables, hydration, and even a little daily “fun food” Whether you fell off track this summer, during the holidays, or just had a crazy few months, these strategies will help you stop starting over and get back to doing the basics consistently.
