Before we get into a banger of a strategy this week, we just wanted to let you know that we've moved back to pretty much a 100% schedule as of this week. More than 100 weekly sessions - indoor, outdoor and onine. 7 days per week. 6AM to Noon & 5PM to 8PM weekday schedules and more. Check it out here.
Sometimes it's hard to fix your most difficult barrier to health and fitness. Most of us go too fast, too hard and fizzle out quickly. An elephant is eaten piece-by-piece and so the same should happen here.
A neat, simple strategy is to formulate a bunch of IF/THEN plans...
IF my partner is late home from work (to take care of the kids), THEN I will do a virtual BOMB recording.
IF I have had the day from hell, THEN I will do a series of dynamic stretching or a short Yoga or Restorative Yoga recording instead of gulping alcohol.
IF I have a busy day tomorrow, with hardly any breaks, THEN I will pack healthy snacks and prepare a healthy lunch.
IF Chris Hemsworth sends me an urgent text containing an eggplant emoji, THEN I will postpone my Bootcamp class BUT I will automatically re-schedule for the following day and, by the power of Thor's Hammer, I will make it!
The next step is to write-up and print-out your IF/THEN clause. Stick it to your fridge and follow it. Don't question it. Don't second guess it. Just do it. When that's conquered, move on to another IF/THEN strategy.
This isn't a throw-shit-at-a-wall tactic either. More than 200 studies have shown IF/THEN planners are 300% more likely to hit their goal than others.
So, our little droogie, what small IF/THEN strategy can you implement this week? Tell us about it. It's also one of the strategies we'll hold you accountable to in September's Reboot Challenge (we'll tell you all about that next time).
Have a great week!
Kevin & Victoria
