Fitness is not fair. Some of us have bodies that love to move. Some of us are naturally strong or naturally fast. Some of us seem built to nap. However, all of us get better with practice.
Here’s one more unfair thing: those of us who thrive on consistent habits have an advantage when it comes to building fitness. Doing a little bit every day really is the key to success. It would be really nice if we could do fitness once and be done with it, but it doesn’t work that way. We have to show up over and over to get and maintain our fitness levels.
Those of us who do not gravitate toward routine need to find a work-around. On the expensive end, hiring a trainer (like me!) helps to ensure that we show up for our workouts. On the cheap end, we can make plans with friends. We’ll show up for others in ways we won’t show up for ourselves.
We want to train ourselves to be tortoises. Tortoises win.
