Feeling frustrated with your progress at the gym?
We’ve all been there!
Here are 4 key things for you to focus on in order to see that continued progress at the gym:
1. CONSISTENCY
- Stop stopping!
- Lots of people go really hard at working out for a short period of time but then get tired, overly sore, injured, burnt out and then stop.
- Establish a workout routine that is sustainable for you!
- Shoot to find a workout(s) you can do consistently 3x a week
- Our programming at Creed is always mixing things up with different styles of workouts and components of fitness (strength, cardio, accessory work, etc.) so it is a great option to help you stay consistent in the gym!
2. EFFORT LEVEL
- Track your effort during your workouts (weight on certain lifts, time on workouts) so you avoid staying in your comfort zone and not seeing much progress.
- Increase your intensity level during workouts over time.
- Intensity is relative so don't compare your intensity level to someone else's!
- Instead, always make sure that you are pushing yourself to that next level of intensity for you.
3. RECOVERY
- You have to let your body properly recover after workouts.
- Sleep, water intake and diet are all huge factors that play into whether or not your body is going to recover enough for you to continue pushing yourself in workouts.
- There is SO much that can be said about the topic of recovery. If you are interested in diving deep, our Creed coaches are here to help you with that!
4. HIRE A COACH
- Get some more hands-on coaching from our Creed coaches and take advantage of their knowledge and experience.
- Ask them to check your form, give you stretches, help you with nutrition, etc. - even if you've already been going to the gym for years!
- Coaches can provide you the accountability you need to stay on track.
- They know when and how to push you to become better!
All this to say, if you are looking to see consistent progress in the gym - we're here to help! Reach out to us and get set up with one of our Creed coaches today!
