Building a sustainable workout routine means creating a plan that you can stick to over time. Start by setting realistic fitness goals and choosing exercises you enjoy, so you’re more likely to keep going. Here are 5 practical tips for how to build a sustainable workout routine that can stick to for the long run.
Remember: Small steps that you can maintain are better than big changes that don't last.
This might sound obvious, but many people force themselves to do exercises they hate because they think that's what they "should" do.
Your workout schedule should work FOR you, not against you.
Making it easy to follow through is key. Clear as many borders as possible between you and your workout.
Most importantly, be willing to change things that aren't working.
Start with these tips, but feel free to adapt them to your needs. The best routine is one that you can stick with long-term, whatever that looks like for you.
