The House KEY to Achieving Your Goals: Consistency

If you’re starting a fitness journey in the hopes of reaching a goal by a specific date or for a specific event or milestone, it can really add pressure to seeing results quickly. But if you have the basics down (the holy trinity: good nutrition, eating the right amount for your goals and exercise), then it’s just a matter of being consistent.

Consistency is key when it comes to achieving your fitness goals. Whether you are aiming to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply improve your overall health and well-being, sticking to a consistent exercise and nutrition plan is essential for success.

So, how can you keep consistent to reach your goals?

1. Commit to a regular workout schedule: Set it in your calendar, add an alarm and do it. This doesn't necessarily mean hitting the gym every day, but it does mean making exercise a priority and finding a routine that works for you. Whether you prefer high-intensity interval training, yoga, or weightlifting, if you’re making it a habit to do it regularly, you will be building strength, endurance, and – slowly but surely – reaching those goals.

2. Follow a nutrition plan: This is something you’ll hear us say over and over again, but that’s because it’s essential to any fitness journey. A nutrition plan takes out the work of planning for meal prep and is an easy-to-follow guide for how many calories you should be taking in. Consistently eating a balanced diet that is rich in whole foods and nutrients will not only help you lose weight, but it will also improve your overall health and well-being. Eating consistently and regularly throughout the day can help keep your energy levels up and prevent overeating or binge eating.

3. Prioritize your mental health: If the physical results are not enough to keep you on track, then think of it this way – the benefits of consistency in exercise and nutrition go beyond abs and glutes. Establishing a consistent routine can also have a positive impact on your mental health and well-being. Consistency can help reduce stress, improve mood, and boost confidence, especially as you see progress toward your goals.

And if you’re not perfect, don’t sweat it. Consistency is about committing to a routine that works for you and sticking to it as best you can. That journey looks different for each person. So, whether you are just starting your fitness journey or are a seasoned pro, make consistency a priority and watch as you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself.
