Discipline is not only key to achieving goals, but also to maintaining a consistent and healthy routine.

Remember that although we all face challenges, the key is to overcome the temptation to give up and move forward with clear goals.

Set clear and achievable goals

• Having clear goals allows you to have a purpose behind each workout. Goals can be short, medium and long term.

• If your goal is to lose weight, a clear goal could be to lose 0.5 kg a week.

• Break down big goals into smaller steps so you do not feel overwhelmed.

Create a consistent routine

• Consistency is key. By exercising regularly, it becomes a habit.

• Find the best time of day to workout and make it part of your daily routine, whether it is in the morning, during a work break, or in the afternoon.

• Use apps or calendars to organize your workouts and remind you what you need to do each day.

Find a constant source of motivation

• Motivation is crucial, but it can fluctuate. To stay disciplined, it is important to find what truly inspires you.

• Listen to energizing music, follow inspiring people on social media, or join fitness or sports groups that keep you focused.

• Encourage partner or group workouts to have a support system.

Embrace the ups and downs

• Everyone has days when they don't feel like working out or where they don't see progress. The key is to not let those moments get you down.

• If you can't work out one day, don't feel guilty, just come back the next day with more energy.

• Keep a growth mindset - every little bit of progress counts, even if it seems small.

Rest and recover

• Discipline is not just about training consistently, but allowing your body to rest to avoid burnout and injury.

• Make sure you get plenty of sleep, eat properly, and take rest days to allow your body to recover.

• Incorporate relaxation activities, such as stretching or yoga, to complement your workouts.

Reward your progress

• Celebrating your achievements, no matter how small, will help you stay motivated and disciplined.

• Set up a reward system for each goal you reach, such as an extra day of rest or a small healthy treat.

• Write down your progress and reflect on it each month to see how you've progressed.

• Remember that discipline in fitness and sports is not something you can do without. It is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather it is an ongoing process.

• The key is to be consistent, be patient with yourself and always remember why you started.
