Hi People!
Connor Green here – owner of Spark Fitness.
I have seen way more people be successful in health and fitness doing 1x/week than I have 6x/week.
This is what happens 99.9% of the time…
Person A thinks:
“I’m going to make up for lost time. More is better. I’m going to absolutely crush this. 6x/week it is!”
What happens:
MAYBE a maximum of 2-3 weeks of this happens. Then, nothing. Complete fall off until “next year”. Net outcome 1 year later: zero progress.
Person B thinks:
“Something is always better than nothing. I’m going to be consistent. If I don’t quit, I can’t lose”.
What happens:
MAYBE a maximum of 2 months goes by. Then, this client starts coming 2x/week. A few more months goes by. Then, person B is making is 3x/week, and maybe even finds the time for 4. Net outcome 1 year later: transformation.
Take aways
- You can’t make up for not doing anything for the last year by coming more than your body/schedule can handle. Start where you are today.
- Consistency is everything.
- If you don’t quit you can’t lose.
- Start slow and your progress will snowball.
- Start fast and your progress will stall.
If you struggle with starting too fast and then falling off… here is exactly what you do:
- Decide what the MINIMUM amount of training you can do consistently is. This literally might be 1x/week.
- Start today.
- In 30 days, add 1x/per week.
- In another 30 days add 1x/week.
You can do this 1:1, in personal training, in group sessions, or at home!
This will work. Jumping right to 6…well…I just haven’t seen that happen very much…
