Overview:
This module focuses on the concept of the “no-excuses workout,” a strategy designed to maintain consistency in an exercise routine, even on challenging days. Consistency leads to exercise becoming part of the individual’s lifestyle. Aim for simplicity and short duration to lower the barrier to exercise.
Topic Summary:
- The no-excuses workout isn’t intended to shape or tone the body but rather to reinforce the habit of exercise and build confidence, resilience, and willpower, through successful goal setting and completion.
- A no-excuses workout should be short, simple, and designed by the individual, making it easier to accomplish even on a challenging day.
- Keeping the no-excuses workout as easy as possible prevents the individuals from talking themselves out of their workout.
- If a no-excuses workout becomes too overwhelming, it might be an indication to reevaluate personal goals and schedules.
- Even with a no-excuses workout, life happens. So, it can be helpful to use the tactic: it’s okay to miss one, just don’t miss two
