This is where your plan takes shape [Nerd Fitness Challenge]
[This is the part 2 in our Nerd Fitness Challenge series – designed to help you build fitness habits that last. You can read part 1 here. In the last step, you identified the things that usually get in the way when you try to stay consistent. Now we’re going to use that information to choose a starting plan – not your “forever” one. In the video below, I walk you through how to pick: One workout focus And an optional nutrition focus That’s it. Two things, max. Here’s the key idea I want you to keep in mind as you make this decision: We’re building consistency first. We can always level up later if things feel too easy. VIDEO LINK How to choose (quick recap) Workouts Look at your schedule and decide how many short workouts per week are realistic Write: “I will work out ___ times per week” Nutrition (optional) Pick one focus. Aim for 5 times per week, not every day Write: “I will focus on ___ 5x per week” Five times per week gives you flexibility and momentum. If you’re wondering “what exactly should I pick?” Here are the most common starting points we recommend: For workouts For nutrition Include protein with meals Include fruits or veggies with meals Or do a short food log to get a baseline (written, photos, app, etc.) You don’t need the “best” option – just the one you’re most likely to stick with. Your action step Fill out Section 2: Core Practices on the worksheet. Pick your workout focus. Optionally, pick one nutrition habit. Write them down. From here, your job is to do the thing. Each time you complete a workout or your nutrition focus, fill in one section of the tracking ring. Later, we’ll talk about how to handle the days when things don’t go according to plan – and how to adjust once this starts feeling easier. – Matt Source link
