104: How to create a Strength Habit, Routine, or Ritual
Manage episode 423713255 series 3372246
The past few episodes of the Habit Thrive Podcast have been all about strengthening💪 ourselves physically and mentally.
Today, on Episode #104, we are continuing our strength journey by learning how to✍️ create a strength habit, routine, or ritual.
Maybe you already have a strength routine as part of your day.🤷♀️ Or maybe you have been thinking🤔 about creating one.
No matter where you are on your strength journey, there is always room for adjustments😉 and additions!
The summer☀️ months are perfect👌 for getting excited about either adding more strength-building opportunities into your day or spicing🌶️ up your existing strength-training activities.
The most effective way to fully reap🤗 the benefits of strength training is to be consistent.
It can be easy to decide to implement a new routine or habit, but it can be challenging🫣 to stay consistent, and ☝️that’s where scheduling comes in.
Last week, we dabbled with scheduling by incorporating a plank or pushups into our daily routine for the week.🙌
So if you kept up your strength routine for the last week, give yourself a celebratory high-five!🥳👋
Now, we need to keep up the momentum.
And we can do that by expanding our container from one week to the entire summer: June, July and August.
The beauty of this routine is that it lasts long enough for us to notice and appreciate the results of our consistency; then we can change it up in the fall for the variety our brain craves and a renewed excitement for our habits.
So how do you set your summer strength habit, routine, or ritual?🤔
Consider the things that make summertime different from the rest of the year:
- Warmer weather
- More flexibility with your schedule
- More energy
- Access to your favorite activities like kayaking and golfing
- More motivation to look and feel more comfortable in your clothes
Then focus on the habits and routines you already have that you can pair with a strength exercise:
- Add some pushups or planks to your morning stretch
- Do some squats and lunges right in your kitchen while your morning coffee is brewing
- Schedule a kayak or paddleboard session on your family vacation this summer
- Carry some hand weights on your evening walk
These strength habits don’t have to be long weightlifting🏋️ sessions. Just a morsel of movement every day will start to make a difference.
So, pull out your planners, and let’s schedule some strength habits!🫶
