Planning to exercise two or three times a week but only managing once? These practical, expert-backed strategies will help you train more often starting next week.
Focus on that post-workout glow
Recall how great you feel after a session—energized and accomplished. When hesitation hits, ask yourself: Have you ever regretted working out?
Schedule workouts like essential appointments
Book group classes early in the week, add runs to your calendar as fixed events, or plan swims with a friend. Treat them as non-cancellable commitments.
Avoid demotivation from slip-ups
Indulged in chips yesterday? Don't skip the whole week. We all have off moments—no need to abandon your goals.
Build with a structured training plan
New to frequent training? Get a professional plan to progress gradually and sidestep injuries.
Add movement throughout your day
No gym time? Increase activity elsewhere: bike to work, exit public transport early, walk to the store, climb stairs, park farther. Every step counts.
