Normally throughout my days at the gym, apart from those working shifts, i know who i am going to see at the gym at certain times.
The members who are the most successful you know you’re going to see often, usually around the same time, they train with the same impressive intensity, the weather doesn’t matter and never affects their decision on whether to train or not, how much stress in their life doesn’t usually affect their training (exercise is the best stress reliever anyway), and in general they are as regular as clockwork.
Their consistency dictates their success levels.
They are also great to train because you get to know them inside out, their strengths, their weaknesses and you can go into detail on everything, and they always push you for more which is fantastic.
They are successful BECAUSE they always show up no matter what.
If they had to post their diary, their calendar up here right now, then their workout would be an ever present in their diary, it will be the one constant, it will be the main thing that allows themselves to think clearly, to think strongly, to get rid of stress and their one part of their day when they take back control, and they dictate their pace for that next hour.
Once your workout becomes THIS important to your day, it doesn’t take a genius to see that this type of habit makes you ultra-successful. Your standards are high, never wavering and you’re not going to be someone who “plays around” with their fitness.
Ask yourself are you this consistent? If not, what’s holding you back? Do you need a diary and SCHEDULE it in no matter what?
Your progress is dictated by often you show up, your habits dictate how successful you are going to be, so you have to decide how well you want to do, how important exercise is for you and realise we all have the same amount of time in our week, how we handle our time and what priority exercise becomes is up to us. We can do it if we really want to make it happen.
