Hey Olivia, Treat training like a non‑negotiable appointment, not something you do only when you “feel like it.” Set small, specific goals (e.g., “3 sessions this week, 45 minutes each”) instead of vague ones like “get fit.” On low‑motivation days, commit to just 10–15 minutes; you’ll often end up doing more, and showing up is what builds consistency.
Focus on systems, not motivation: plan your week in advance, schedule workouts at the same time, and remove friction (lay out gear the night before, pick a nearby gym or field). Track progress in a simple log—seeing improvement over weeks is more powerful than daily feelings. When you’re tired, scale intensity instead of skipping (light jog, mobility, or skill work still counts as training).
