YOUR WEEKLY WORKOUT SCHEDULE SHOULD WORK FOR YOU AS MUCH AS YOU WORK FOR THEM.

HOW TO PLAN
When it comes to planning, I take a similar stance to my approach to goals make them realistic, achievable, sustainable and enjoyable. It's pointless saying to yourself that you're going to smash 4 sessions a week if in reality you can only consistently hit 2.
Not only does that leave you feeling like you've failed, but it doesn't do much for your motivation or consistency. My advice?
Sit and figure out how much time you can commit to your goals - plan, factor and work the time into your week by using a simple planner template and stick to it!
Another piece of advice is to remind yourself that it is lifestyle, which means that things change and schedules need to change from time to time to! That isn't you messing up, ruining your progress or taking steps back, it's just life and you've got to roll with it.
Having a plan is amazing for consistency, progress and for helping you achieve your goals. But it should be fluid, adaptive and with the understanding that it's OK if life gets in the way sometimes and things need to wiggle around a little.

REMINDER:
Break your goals down into chunks, this helps make sure that you can slowly chip away at achieving those bigger goals, without them seeming too daunting or losing track.
I like to set short, medium and long term goals, breaking them down every step of the way.

Making them measurable means getting specific. For example, instead of saying "I want to improve my squat" say "I want to achieve a 50kg squat
for 10 reps in 12 weeks time'.
Making them specific and time-bound makes them achievable, giving you something clear to work towards.

This is probably the trickiest to master, but making sure the goals you are setting are achievable in the time you're trying to achieve them in is key.
Setting the bar too high can lead to disappointment and de-motivation, setting it too low - well, that's just a little easy.

GOAL SETTING TIP:
BE ACCOUNTABLE
Keep yourself accountable by writing your goals down, that way they're there to remind, refresh and re-motivate you when you need it.
Either jot them in a note on your phone, or treat yourself to a new notebook.
Tick them off once you've achieved them (most satisfying thing EVER).

SUPPORT SQUAD
Surrounding yourself with people who are helping to support you, as you work towards your goals is so important. Whether it's friends, family or professionals.
Setting up a squad of pals to push you, chat to you, cuddle you, whatever you need, when you need it is the ultimate support.
