For me it’s about making it a routine and part of your daily life. I started out with 3 days a week lifting and now do 3 days lifting and 3 days cardio. I find it’s easier to stick to and enjoy if it’s something I do everyday. The other thing I’ve noticed is you really need to pay attention to nutrition and sleep too. Working out is a lot easier/ more enjoyable if you are providing your body with the nutrients it needs and getting enough sleep. If you just eat junk food you’re going to feel like junk when you workout
Yeah this is the same for me, I go to the gym 4 days a week and do cardio for 2 a week at the moment. The habit is easier to keep if I go more often, at least for me. Then it's not a matter of should I be doing something today but more of a is it gym or cardio time?
Same! Each day is “is it a gym day or cardio day”
