Wellness Corner - The Power of Consistency
By: Ben Fogle
I was recently asked by a client what is the one thing I would recommend to see results over the long term. My answer was, consistency.
But then, here is the issue.
Most people think about fitness in terms of sprints.
21-day fat loss challenges, 6-week body transformations, 1 week juice cleanses.
These “sprints” involve intense periods of training that are in essence and by design unsustainable. They may work great for those 20 something year olds out there (but not forever), but for the rest of us who have the complexities of life, not so much. Because well sometimes life can get in the way.
As we all age, we should be re-framing our idea of what achieving results looks like, and in what time-frame achieving those results takes. We should give ourselves a little solace in the fact that it may take a little longer than we expect, and that is where consistency comes in.
Quite simply:
You should be aiming for less intensity and more consistency, and over a longer time horizon.
