What’s the plan? This is one of the key questions for
fitness. Sure, it’s fine to show up at
the gym and do whatever strikes our fancy.
Showing up, is, indeed, a crucial step.
However, it’s also a good way to get into a rut.
Planning can take care of
that. We can think about what exercises
we need for a complete workout. We can
consider what we did last week. We can
balance our cardio, strength, and flexibility needs.
Planning also means that
we get to the gym with all the right stuff.
I’m not a big advocate of the perfect everything, but we need shoes and
water, at least. Getting the bag
together with the water bottle the night before can be transformative. Also, having the gym clothes out as the
outfit of least resistance can make getting going in the morning more
automatic. (Sleeping in gym clothes also
works.)
Even knowing that we’re
not morning people at the gym is a form of planning. We can make sure that the stuff is in the car
for after work so there are no excuses.
Let’s do it!
