You decided to exercise 5 times weekly with cardio, Pilates, weights, and stretching. You want to make your exercise habit consistent and look for simple ways to get started. By planning everything out, you know that you can make exercise a consistent habit.
You also understand that you can make the time, but then stuff happens… you forget that you wanted to exercise, and suddenly it’s dinner time, a meeting was rescheduled into your exercise time, and you tell yourself not now because you are busy and will work out later at some point.
