One of the biggest mistakes people make when they start trying to “get healthy” is doing too much too soon.
6 days per week.
90 minute workouts.
Body part splits.
Cardio every day.
Trying to eat perfectly overnight.
Then 4 weeks later life gets busy, motivation drops and the whole thing falls apart.
Honestly, for most people the first goal should just be building a training routine that fits into real life.
3 full body sessions per week.
40ish minutes.
Get in, train hard enough, leave.
That’s enough to build momentum.
Enough to improve fitness.
Enough to build muscle.
Enough to create structure.
Then once training becomes part of your lifestyle you can evolve it.
Maybe move into 4 days.
Maybe specialise more.
Maybe increase volume a little.
But most people don’t need more complexity.
They need more consistency.
I had a client recently show me a workout with 33 sets in one session.
That’s not discipline.
That’s just unnecessary.
The goal is not to spend your life in the gym.
The goal is to build a body and lifestyle that lets you enjoy the rest of your life better.
