Is it okay to miss a workout?

🚀Missed a workout? Don't panic! Remember, your body is resilient and missing a single workout won't set you back.

However, it's important to note that this could shake your motivation if not tackled promptly. That single skipped session can easily turn into a habit...leaving you feeling like you're starting from scratch.

Remember the wise old saying: "Staying on the wagon is easier than climbing back on." This certainly rings true when it comes to fitness and maintaining healthy habits.

📍To keep those one-off misses from derailing your fitness journey, consider the following:

1️⃣ Understand why you missed the workout. Any underlying issues?

2️⃣ Set meaningful goals that resonate with you, not what you think you should aim for.

3️⃣ Discover activities you love or partner with a coach who can guide you.

4️⃣ Show yourself some grace. Don't overthink or beat yourself up.

Just get back on track and start moving again!

How to Stay Motivated

Let’s talk about ACCOUNTABILITY because a lot of people get it wrong.

It’s a shame because when done RIGHT, it can skyrocket your progress…

And even help you hit goals that you thought were out of your reach!

First: let’s clear up a common misconception.

Accountability is NOT about setting high goals and then beating yourself up for not reaching them.

Instead, it’s about owning your power to make a positive difference in your health and fitness!

Having an accountability plan…

Helps you stay consistent because you know you’ve got a check-in coming soon

Keeps you motivated, because the results keep coming when you’re consistent — and we all know there’s nothing more motivating than results!

Helps you focus on what’s working and what needs adjusting

Here are a few ways to add accountability to your routine:

Reverse engineer your SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive) with the actions you need to take to get there — and do it at a pace that fits your schedule, lifestyle, AND your current skill set/fitness level!

Find an accountability partner. Buddying up with a friend, family member, or coworker who shares similar goals can dramatically increase your likelihood of success.

Keep a journal. Writing (or typing) about your journey does more than help you track your progress. It can help you understand your patterns, motivations, triggers, and successes.

Or, invest in a coaching program like we offer at our BCS Fitness studios.

Together, we’ll create a plan that’s realistic, flexible, and — most importantly — effective in helping you achieve your health and fitness goals.

Oh, and of course we will hold you accountable every step of the way.

If you’ve never invested in a coaching program before, we know it can feel like a big step. But think of it this way: you can either spend more time doing what you’ve been doing, OR you can try a new approach that’s proven to work (and has for over 21 years locally in Bryan/College Station).

This makes things way easier…

😲 Hate to break it to you, but there are some things you HAVE to do every day…

Things like brushing your teeth, making the bed, going to work, cooking meals, loading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, etc.

Yes, you *can* miss a day or two. But go too long and things can get uncomfortable… fast! 😵‍💫

It’s the same thing with your health.

If you want to look, move, and feel your best...you have to dedicate 60-90 minutes a week (minimum) to your fitness.

🧘 Doing a little bit every day is a whole lot easier — and a lot more attainable — than trying to do it all at once.

Even if it's as simple as putting your gym bag next to the door at night so you will be more likely to work out the next day...you’re taking a step in the right direction!

"I don’t really like the gym atmosphere, so I searched for something different. BCS Fitness is this place. 30-minute workouts 3 times a week in a small group is perfect.

"I don’t really like the gym atmosphere, so I searched for something different. BCS Fitness is this place. 30-minute workouts 3 times a week in a small group is perfect. I get the strength and conditioning my body needs and has been missing and I don’t have to think about the workout. The workouts are set for me and all I have to do is count my reps and sets and let the trainers know how I’m feeling. It’s great! I feel so much stronger which allows me to keep participating in my other hobbies."
