How do I stick to a schedule?

Question

I've made a schedule for the summer but I always find myself doing other things like t.v., games. etc.

Answer 1

I know exactly what you mean, I'm a personal trainer and have difficulty getting into a routine after a break. It happens to everyone and everyone is different and what motivates them may not motivate someone else. I wish I had a simple answer for you but it is a complex one and I think the person who worked this out would be very wealthy indeed.

I recently wrote an article on finding it difficult sticking to a program or diet. It may help you understand the body's thought process and therefore help you to work out how to make your training a priority.

I hope it helps and do try and get into your training as there will be a point in your future that you will either be thanking yourself for doing the training or wishing you had started. I know which I would prefer.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Thanks for such a great question. I wanted to do exercise to look better, be healthier etc, etc. The only way I started to stick to my schedule was by actually enjoying the exercise itself as my primary source of motivation, instead of doing it to build muscles to impress the ladies.

Answer 3

move to the outer hebredies at least 100 miles from your nearest pub with no electricy running water or gas then it should be easy

Answer 4

it's an addiction.....don't even turn the tv on. get ready right when you wake up and leave the house. you may feel lazy at first but as soon as you get outside you will feel refreshed.

good luck. enjoy your summer!!!
