BE FLEXIBLE
I’m not talking about how much you can stretch (although that is a great topic for another day) but rather how you handle the variability that life throws at you.
For instance, recently I had a client who was talking to me about how their meal times seem to change and hitting the normal five times per day was a struggle.
Sometimes they ate dinner late and were starving, other times they would shorten their day with a late breakfast.
Or another case was myself, when my hip was angry with me and there was no way my body was ready to do a lower body training session even though that is what I had on my schedule.
Finally another instance is when a client knew and planned to have access to a gym at her hotel and then found out when arriving it was closed for maintenance and cleaning.
All of these examples require flexibility.
While it’s great to have everything planned out and go smoothly the reality is, this doesn’t always happen. Adjusting meal frequency up or down, changing your training schedule around or taking the day off, making due with minimal equipment or seeking out a different gym, these are all ways to pivot and make things happen.
If you want to achieve a desired result, structure things accordingly to set yourself up for success, but don’t let the focus fall apart when the plans go south.
