Bodybuilding - Consistency

Consistency is a very important part of any training program. Set yourself up with a realistic workout schedule. Take into consideration all of your other responsibilities when planning your workout. Don't jump into a program that requires you to workout more times a week than you have time for. Get a great workout three days a week and you will make great gains over the long run. If you should miss a day, make sure that you make it up. Don't come up with excuses when it comes time to go workout. Get yourself into the gym and make those gains.

You make your own decisions. Decide that you are going to workout. Decide that you are going to get enough sleep, and eat the right kinds of foods on a consistent basis. You have to decide how important your training is to you. Do you really want to make those gains? Don't wait for a certain day to get started. Some people say, "I'm going to start a program on January 1st." Why wait until then? Do it now! What is so special about waiting until a date in the future? The longer you wait the harder it will be. Gyms would love to have you sign up for a year on January 1st and quit in February. Many people are enthusiastic in the beginning and then they start missing days until they quit going altogether. Get a realistic program started and be consistent!
