Consistency On a Micro-Level (Part 1)

"You need to be more consistent."

How often do we hear this?

But what does that even mean?

What's consistent for me, may not be consistent for you.

Here's what "consistency" looks like for me:

[+] 3 kettlebell sessions per week.
[+] 2-3 BJJ sessions per week.
[+] 2 Ruck Marches per week.

That may not be consistent for you--and may sound like too much; and for some, it might not be enough.

For you, consistency might be getting in two, 30-minute workouts per week, and that's it.

And this is the reason I'm writing to you today...

... I want to share how to build "Relative Consistency" through a concept I call "Micro-Consistency."

... and how it will help you build a strong, lean, and healthy body; in 3 easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Planning and Execution

Regardless of how many days you can strength train, pick a schedule which works for you and stick with it.

Once you've established your schedule, stay consistent with each training session in this format:

✅ Train on the same days every week.
✅ Train at the same time every week.
✅ Choose one exercise to practice.
✅ Keep your repetitions per set the same.
✅ Keep your intensity (the weight you're using) the same.

Step 2: Choose ONE Variable

Choose only ONE variable (I'll dive more into why in a separate post).

For example:

Constants:

👉 Workout Monday and Friday at 5.30 p.m.
👉 Choose one (yes, ONE!) exercise.
👉 Choose a weight you can lift 10 times.
👉 Practice sets of 3, rest as needed.

Variable:

👉 Monday: practice for 20 minutes.
👉 Friday: practice for 25 minutes.

Step 3: Work

Simple... do the work, track the work, adjust the work.

This is what it looks like to be consistent on a Micro-Level, which has a profound downstream effect on your health, strength, and longevity.

In a previous post (on FB), "3 Steps to Results in 1 Hour Per Week," I showed how to get MORE with LESS effort using this same framework.

Give it a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

I appreciate you reading,

P.S. In my next post, I'm going to reveal why most guys (and gals) injure themselves--which keeps them from being consistent, and athletic--after 40.

The problem is subtle, "invisible" to the un-coached eye, when you don't know what to look for.

To be continued...
