How to stay consistent with working out and diet: Home workout motivation.

I will share my 5 most unique motivation and consistency ideas with you and some tips and tricks that you can follow to stay consists in the workouts and Stay motivated throughout your weight loss or fat loss journey.

But before that you have to prepare in your mind that you will follow the steps and get away from the burnouts.

What is consistency?

Now ask yourself that what is consistency for you is that working out everyday is that being consistent for you.

If that is consistency for you then my dear you're very wrong.

Because that is not but you think consistency is.

Consistency means the constant progress in your body.

It does not mean that you have to work out everyday, that you have to follow a diet every single day.

Perfection is the biggest enemy of consistency.

Tomorrow you try to be perfect the more you fail.

This is the truth.

Sometimes we think that because we are not doing exercises and dieting everyday we are not getting fit.

This happened to me as well, how when I was in my hostel and trying to lose weight I sometimes cheat meals and skip my workouts and in my mind I saw that I am not getting fit at all because sometimes I am skipping my diet and eating cheat meals.

But my friends told me that no we are noting changes in your body that you are getting slim or that you are getting fitter.

Then I realise that being consistent does not mean that you are doing the same thing everyday because we are not at the same energy everyday.

Sometimes we are dealing with heartbreaks sometimes we are on a period for womens sometime this sometime that.

We cannot perform best everyday.

For me consistency means not giving up your goal until you achieve it.

Now let me tell you the five things you need tips and tricks and 5 ideas that I'm going to share with you to stay motivated and stay consistent with your diet and workout.

1. Habit pairing with ‘temptation bundling'

This is quite unique to stay consistent. 

This means that you love to listen to music and podcasts and listen to your audio book and want to watch movies and some other YouTube videos. You have to make a rule that whenever you are doing a workout you have to watch that particular video and audiobook any podcast during that workout session.

So that when the next day you want to know the next part of the story you have to do a workout for that.

2. The ‘never miss twice’ rule

This is very helpful to stay consistent and motivated throughout your journey.

For this you have to make a rule ‘never miss twice’, this means when one day you decide to have your cheat on me or skip a workout that does not follow the next day because that is when you built a bad habit of skipping diet and workout sessions.

Just tell yourself that if you are doing it today you don't have to do it tomorrow.

This is a very powerful tip if you are using it correctly.

3. Clear mental friction the night before

It's kind of a decision fatigue that you feel after your workout sessions and long days at night.

Because we think that we are going to wear it to the gym tomorrow and what kind of weights that we are going to use for my next session and what we are going to eat tomorrow.

With all the decision fatigue, our mind chooses the couch (the easy option).

So pick your clothes that you are going to wear the night before and put your weights at the exact position where you are gonna use them.

In this way our brain will not think about the next day.

4. Focus on identity shifting over goal chasing

You have to think about the bigger picture.

You don't have to think that I have to do this workout and this is a diet to lose fat. Instead of that you have to think about how I'm going to look after I lose weight.

I have to tell yourself that this is the body type that I have to achieve. In this way your brain will not think that this is the normal chore, it will think about that this is something important for you. 

5. Cook ‘protein bases’ instead of full meal

When we use the traditional food prepping method, we get bored after 3 or 4 days by eating the same meal everyday.

so instead of preparing the full meal just prep the protein base. the things that you are going to eat for your protein intake.

Then you can cook different meals every day and add those proteins in your meal. 

These are all the tips that you can use to stay consistent and motivated for your workout and your diet.

I hope you like it.
