I am going to be honest – I messed up last week. For the first time in maybe two years I didn’t send out a weekly newsletter. Life was busier than usual, my attention was on too many different things, and I simply forgot to go through my drafts, make final edits, and hit send.
Yet here I am – right back at it.
And that’s the point. Whether it’s training, nutrition, or any area of your life you care about – consistency is what creates change. Missing a day or a week doesn’t matter. What you do next matters.
Now there’s no shortage of exercise options out there. New programs, methods, and trends all promising to be the answer. None of that matters if you don’t show up consistently.
Progress does not come from a special exercise or routine – it’s molded by showing up, week after week, even when life is full.
For most of us, that means balancing a career, a family, and the goal of staying healthy and strong into the future.
Maybe your purpose is being active with your kids, being competitive in your adult league, keeping your energy high to tackle projects around the house, or simply feeling capable as the years go on.
That purpose gives meaning to the effort, and meaning keeps you consistent.
We could talk about making sure your glenohumeral joint moves perfectly with your scapula, but most people don’t need that level of detail. What they need is to show up, do simple work well, and move on to the rest of what demands their attention.
This week, don’t worry about perfection. Just pick ONE thing – one training session, one healthy meal, one night of quality, uninterrupted sleep – and do it.
Progress isn’t built on what you missed. Progress is built on the action you take.
