Reach Your Goals With A Workout Schedule

I don’t know about you but my workout enthusiasm ebbs and flows with the seasons. Right now I’m feeling pretty darn lazy and I’m having trouble setting (and sticking to) a workout schedule.

How To Create Your Own Workout Schedule

Creating your own workout schedule really isn’t all that hard. Just sit down with a day planner, calender or your favorite electronic device and figure out when you have the time to work out.

Of course, if you work you will need to work around your work schedule (wow, that was a lot of work ).

Next, you will need to divide your workouts up into smaller daily workouts. For example, many people like to go to the gym (or workout at home) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and they do both resistance training and cardio on those days.

If so, your workout schedule will be pretty straight forward. But if you like to workout 5 times a week you might want to divide up your “resistance days” and your “cardio days”.

It’s Really Up To You

There is no right or wrong it’s just a question of what sounds best to you and which workout schedule you will be most likely to stick with. There is no point in devising some great, elaborate schedule if it only overwhelms you and you won’t stick to it.

Use Your Friends List

No, I don’t mean go to Facebook. I mean to try to find at least one friend who you can workout with. It is so much easier to stay motivated when you have that element of “peer pressure”.

If you know your friend is expecting you to go workout you will be much less likely to blow off your workout and let your friend down (not to mention have her think you’re a coach potato!)

Working out with a friend is one of the best ways I know of to stay motivated and stick to that well thought out workout schedule you made.
