How To Make Your Workout A Habit
Maybe you know someone in your life who trains hard, even when their day has been long and stressful, and who has a busy social life on top of that. It means that this person has entered into a habit, and that training does not require any particular sacrifice. Do you feel like the lazy is nailing you to the couch? Creating a routine allows you to choose your sofa and exercise times wisely. If so, here is how to make your workout a habit.
Of course, this doesn’t happen overnight. It takes an average of 60 days before a routine sets in and it doesn’t cost you too much effort. With good organization, you too can become a regular athlete, without stress or difficulty!

So here are tips on how to make your workout a habit.
Keep your goal in sight
A stressful or busy daily life between work and private life makes you quickly forget your new goals. We therefore advise you to always remember your goal so that you do not lose sight of it.
Visualize your goal(s). You can write it down, save it on your computer: the important thing is not to lose sight of it. If you opt for a paper version of your goal, place it somewhere prominent so you can see it at least once a day.
Everything in its time
In the beginning, it is better to change only one habit at a time. Wanting to change everything about everything overnight requires considerable effort. Too much stress, deprivation and guilt if you don’t make it every day. Instead, rejoice in your small successes and don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself.
Don’t try to change your diet overnight either. Certainly, a more suitable diet is essential to have results. But changing eating habits takes time. For top muscle development, your body needs a lot of protein as well as a caloric surplus. A post-workout protein shake is the fastest way to give your muscles everything they need to recover.
Keep the momentum
For training to become a habit, it is important to work out regularly. This doesn’t mean that you instantly have to exercise super intensively every day.
Three times a week at the gym is already good. Your muscles need time to recover.
Connect training with the good feelings it gives you
How did you feel after the last workout? Exhausted but proud? Happy to have conquered your lazy side? Soak up the positive feelings that your session brought you.
One day or another, you will experience a more difficult day when the urge to move will be zero. Then relive these moments and think that once the efforts are made, you will be even more proud and happy than usual.
Start with what you like the most
Start the workout with an exercise that makes you happy. You will be more involved and you will create a better relationship in training if you have a positive first impression. The more you enjoy practicing, the less difficult it will seem and the faster the habit will set in.
Better to do little than nothing
If sometimes you really feel too flat to train for a long time, it doesn’t matter. It happens. Ditch the long workout for today and try a HIIT session instead. It doesn’t last more than 10 minutes and you’ll burn a lot of calories thanks to the afterburn effect.
Making training a habit
- A habit takes about 60 days to form.
- Connect your new habit with the positive moments it brought you; it will make things easier.
- Write your goal to have it in front of you every day.
- Train a little rather than not at all, so as not to break the virtuous cycle of habit.
- No need to train every day! The important thing is to be consistent over the long term.
