One skipped workout leads to another, and another, and another. Then, before you know it, your fitness progress grinds to a halt.
This frustrating cycle is all too common.
Many of my clients have asked for a magical tip to help them stick with their exercise plan, and I found the solution in an unlikely place: the mind of Jerry Seinfeld.
The story goes like this…
A few decades ago, when he was a touring comedian and the Seinfeld show was new on TV, a young man approached him backstage at a comedy club to ask for advice. How can I become a better comic?
He told the young comic that to become better, he should write better jokes. And to write better jokes, he must write every single day.
Seinfeld went on to describe his Chain Method for staying consistent. He hangs a big calendar for a whole year on the wall. On every day that he writes, he marks that box with an X. After a few days, you have a chain that continues to grow longer. Now your job is never to break the chain.
Don’t break the chain!
While Seinfeld used this brilliant technique for writing jokes, we can use it for fitness. Every day you invest in your new, healthy lifestyle earns a big, satisfying red X. How gratifying to see your fitness chain grow on your wall calendar!
If your goal in 2018 is to MOVE better, FEEL better, and begin the process of aging ACTIVELY, then consistency is key. Stick to your program every single day.
Build the chain; see the results.
