 My name is Shalchi and welcome back to my channel. This channel is all about Productivity, Fitness and Lifestyle. Today's video is going to be about how to stay consistent with your workouts. Now when it comes to working out, I truly believe that consistency is everything. It is much more important than your frequency or the intensity of your workouts. What I mean by this is that it is better to go to the gym just twice a week. But do that every week rather than going all five days in the first week and then not turning up the entire month. Now being consistent is something which even I am struggling with in the last couple of months. So in this video I have put together some of the ideas which I am trying to implement and which might help you out as well to stay consistent with your workouts. So let's get started. The else that you need to do in a day, it helps to plan and schedule your workouts as well. Personally I feel that I am much more likely to work out if I am mentally prepared for it the previous day. Now I am somebody who works out very early in the morning, usually around 6am. So there are few things that I try and keep ready the previous night itself so that I don't have any excuses to view myself in the morning. Some of these things are, number one, I plan what type of workout I am going to do the next day. So this might involve working the class that I would like to attend. It could be a Zumba or a yoga class or planning where I would go for the run. Number two, I keep everything that I would need the next morning ready. For example, I plan what I am going to wear and just hang it right opposite my bed. I fill in my water bottle and I even keep other things like earphones, a jacket, it's already ready. And third, I always find it very helpful to read about the type of workout and its benefits because this is something which motivates me to stay committed to my fitness routine. Stay regular with your workout is to have a gym buddy or a workout buddy. I have two to three very good friends who are part of my workout group and they constantly motivate me to stay regular. There is a certain sense of accountability which comes in when you know that you have somebody else as well who is waiting for you to turn up. I encourage you to find a workout buddy. It could be a spouse, your friend, your sibling, even your parent. And if none of this is possible for you then try and join a group workout class because rather than working out alone, working out with other people in the class might encourage you to stay more regular and stay committed to your routine. It should be enjoyed and so should working out. So I truly believe that there is a form of workout for each and every one of us which we can enjoy. We just need to have the patience to find that. So keep experimenting and keep challenging yourself with different forms of workout till you find something that you truly love. And once you do, don't just stick to it. Keep bringing in variations in it. It could be in terms of the duration or it could be in terms of the intensity. The whole point is to engage your body as well as your mind. Progress is the best form of motivation. So track your workouts and see the progress that you have been making. This will motivate you and encourage you to keep going and stay consistent with your workouts. You can track your progress either in terms of how many classes or how many times you have been working out in a week. Or it could be in terms of increase in your strength and in your stamina. One of the things that I like to do is that I use this very simple weekly tracker to keep note of all the classes that I have been heading in. So writing in this and seeing myself knock out so many classes makes me really happy and encourages me to stay consistent and continue the good streak. So if you guys want to give this weekly tracker a try I will leave a link for this in the description box below. You can get a copy too and give it a try. So guys thank you so much for watching. These were my ideas and hacks for staying consistent with working out which I am trying to implement and I encourage you to do so as well.
