Member-only story
A few months ago I wrote an article on how to stay consistent with workouts. Although the advice there is meant to be general, I was mostly considering my approach to weekday workouts when I was writing it. Weekends, however, are a whole other universe.
Therefore, I decided to write this post, focusing primarily on how to make workouts work on the weekends as well.
First, here’s a bit of my background — perhaps it’s somewhat similar to yours.
At this point, I can say that I ironed out my weekday routine quite well. The moment I get up, I feel energized and ready to work out. My meals are perfectly planned and I know exactly what to eat and when to make sure I perform my best. I follow a specific strength training program so I know what to expect every day and never have to think or worry about what to do at the gym. There’s a solid structure to my weekdays.
(Un)fortunately, weekends lack that structure. For a while I’ve been trying to create a weekend-specific routine to follow but haven’t been successful. Weekends are never really the same, and something always comes up. I was upset and frustrated about it at first, until I realized that it’s a good thing, after all, and maybe I should just chill…
