3 things that people often overlook, and that could be hurting your progress👏🏼!!️ 1️⃣ Poor sleep. 2️⃣ Inconsistent workouts and/or doing different workouts all the time, AKA not following a structure for training! 3️⃣ Not using data to monitor your progress objectively. Let’s start with sleep: 🛌 If you’re not prioritizing your sleep at all, you’re doing yourself a big disservice. I understand that the amount of sleep you can get in a night can be circumstantial, like if you have a newborn baby! However, you still need to prioritize it - many people just accept that their sleep is poor and don’t realize how much better they would feel if they even got one extra hour of sleep per night. 📺 Cut down the screen time before bed. Make a bedtime routine. Give your body the rest it needs to properly recover so you can make the most of your progress! Not to mention, being sleep deprived will typically make you hungrier, and make it harder for you to feel satisfied, so it’ll affect your nutrition habits too. 💪🏼 If you’re doing different workouts all the time, you’re not going to make nearly as much progress as you could by progressing through a consistent structure. Having a structure to follow allows you to define your goals more clearly, and allows you to gauge your progress objectively, which brings me to my third and final point: 📊 If you’re not monitoring any data on your progress, you could be wasting a lot of time and effort. How will you know you’re making progress if you’re not objectively looking at what’s happening? Log your training, make note of measurements and/or progress pictures, keep a journal of how you’re feeling, etc. - if you’re not doing any of this and you’re trying to reach specific goals, you could go weeks or months without any clue how much or how little progress you’ve made! . . . . . . . . .
