Stick To Your Routines, Reach Those Goals

The best way to stick to a workout plan is to set big and small goals, and create a weekly regimen. People who plan ahead and set goals usually succeed because they know exactly where they are headed. It's not as effective if you randomly go to the gym and fit it in your schedule where ever it might fit. If you create a routine and you go to the gym or your workout classes at the same time every week, it becomes a habit, you are staying consistent, and you will see results. Plain and simple. It's commitment and perseverance that will set you apart from the rest. Aside from creating a regimen, it's very important that you stick to it as well. Progress is a slow process, but since you've started already it doesn't make sense to give up now in the middle. Every time you stop you will have to start over from scratch. Don't give up, delay, or procrastinate your fitness journey. These are the worst things you can possibly do to yourself. You are stunting your own success and wasting you time if you are not ready to get serious and commit to yourself. Don't be lazy, get up, and get to the gym ! And don't miss one day, not even for bad weather. If the gym is open, you are there. Consistency is key. You can either feel sore tomorrow or feel sorry tomorrow. Don't let it be the second option. You have an obligation to your body so create your regimen, set your short and long term goals and achieve them ! A year from now you will wish you started today and didn't quit. Quitting is an action of the weak minded. Elevate your character and promise to be more dedicated, determined, and disciplined. You will go a long way and be very proud in four months when you look back and see all your consistency paying off.
My current regimen is:

All purple is my workout schedule. I go to yoga 3 times a week, I go to the gym and workout specific body parts 4 times a week. On Tuesdays I go to my school gym between my classes and do 45 mins of cardio and focus on my abs for 20 mins. And of course I do my morning routine every morning

My goals:
Short term (by the end of March): 15 non assisted pull-ups straight, 50 push-ups straight, 15 pistol squats on each leg.

Long term (by September ): Walk in a handstand for more than 30 seconds, be very lean and cut, weigh a healthy 130 pounds, and have my CPT certificate.

I am very excited and motivated to reach beyond my goals. Of coarse I will update you on the progress. It will be slow but I will not be discouraged and neither should you. Everyday is a new chance and if you weren't able to lift the weight or hold that yoga pose today, you definitely put yourself closer than you were yesterday. You never know what tomorrow holds for you so stick with it and persevere. Put every strand of determination, every ounce of self love, every inch of commitment into furthering yourself on the road to your goals every time you step into the gym. Go to the gym and own the place, know why your there, be confident, and complete everything you went there for. There is a first time for everything so maybe tomorrow you will complete that 5k race, or be able to do a split. Never give up, you have all the power inside you, you just have to grit your teeth and bring it out. I believe that you can do it, make sure you believe in yourself and your workouts.

So get out there and add another brick to your Great Wall of China. Good afternoon and well wishes on those workouts :) Im headed to planet fitness to do my back workout as my schedule says. Namaste.
