The Most Important Part of Fitness is Consistency

If you have fitness goals, no matter what they may be, the way to reach them is always the same. It’s not about more miles, more intensity, or more weight. It’s about progress. And progress comes from training purposefully over and over again. That’s why the most important part of fitness is consistency.

Consistency is the Plan

Whether your goal is to run a 5k or hit a PR in deadlifts, or just to stay active and strong, consistency is the plan. Instead of assuming you need to run faster than you did yesterday, or add ten pounds during your next workout, all you really need to do is build a schedule for running or lifting consistently. It’s a long-game approach, and in a world of instant gratification, that isn’t always easy.

But a certified personal trainer can help. Here at Framework Personal Training in Reno, it’s our job to create a fitness plan that moves you toward your personal fitness goals. And consistency is key. The best training plan in the world won’t be effective if you’re only doing it sporadically. Fortunately, that’s not common when you’re working with a trainer, because one of the big benefits of doing so is the accountability factor. You’re simply more likely to do what you need to do when you’re someone is depending on you to show up. And that creates another positive scenario – when you’re accountable for sticking to your workout schedule, motivation ceases to be an issue. You work out because that’s what you do at this time on this day. That consistency leads to progress, and progress leads to completed goals. It’s a wonderfully tidy loop.
