Maintaining Consistency
Another long awaited, highly anticipated blog post.
I realised something yesterday evening while I sat on the bicycle machine at gym preparing myself for the mental trauma of forcing myself through an hour and a half of mindless weight pushing ...
I realised that if I wanted to maintain consistency I had to :
1) Relieve myself of the psychological pressure I put myself under when I go to gym.
2) Avoid high expectations in terms of what I'm able to achieve within the hour and a half, from a cardiovascular and streangth perspective.
You see, it's not like I have a whole day to prepare myself for gym. I get home every evening at 20h00 after a long day at work so the REAL challenge is just getting myself into the gym. If I stop enjoying going to gym then my goal of achieving a decent physique is doomed.
Consistency is all about maintaining the right state of mind.
