CONSISTENCY = PROVEN FOUNDATION OF TRAINING/EXERCISE SUCCESS
As Mustang would wisely say, there are no shortcuts to giving your fitness top dog status! And to explain the notion of consistency, I’ll use a sports performance analogy to best articulate the importance of consistency relative to results:
➡️ 1x / week playing a sport feels like you’re starting from scratch every time. Granted, there may be immediate mental health benefits derived and consistent once per week is better than n-one per week
➡️➡️ 2x / week, you kind of feel like you’re starting to get it. There are subtle changes.
➡️➡️➡️ 3x/week, it’s like, yes! That’s the ticket, you’re getting somewhere
➡️➡️➡️➡️ 4x / week + , Equals flow. A very positive feedback loop.
This applies to weight training.
If you’re tracking your progress in a journal/app there is an added benefit to this consistency. Essentially training is a neurological pattern program that gets developed. This is the foundation for the concept known as ‘muscle memory’. Use it or lose it. However, because you’ve established a base and have data to back it up, if there is a lag / fall off the wagon period (which happens), your learning curve to get back on track is shorter.

- This leads to another concept and I’ve integrated this frequently when energy is low or not in the mood, bridge workouts. Essentially abbreviated training sessions that are shorter in time, reps and sets but still effective and help maintain consistency and momentum.
