Why Consistency Beats Intensity (Every Time)

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

We’ve all had those moments where we feel like we’re supposed to go all in...

Crush intense workouts, eat perfectly clean, and have a routine so airtight that even the slightest hiccup feels like failure.

But let me share something with you: Consistency beats intensity every time.

Sure, those hardcore, sweat-dripping workouts feel great, but what really moves the needle long-term? It’s the little things you do every day, even when life gets crazy.

Especially when life gets "cray cray!"

I get it though you’re busy (same here)

And the idea of doing some intense, time-consuming program isn’t realistic.

And guess what? It doesn’t have to be.

It’s the daily choices that matter:

Going for a 20-minute walk when you don’t have time for the gym.
Choosing a healthy snack even when you’re craving something else.
Drinking more water even if you missed your morning workout.

These small, consistent actions are what build momentum over time.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about showing up, doing something, and keeping the wheels turning.

Build the Habit, Not the Stress

You don’t have to be a fitness superhero. Just stay in the game. Even on days when life throws you a curveball, doing something is always better than doing nothing.

So, next time you’re tempted to skip because you can’t fit in the perfect workout or meal, remember the key is consistency.

Keep showing up. Those small wins stack up.

Lift Life!

She was really struggling...

Hey Reader, It’s not worth it. None of it. The frustration when you skip a workout. The guilt after eating something “off plan.”The self-doubt that whispers, “You’ll never get there.” The comparisons to others who seem “further ahead.” None of this is why we’re here. We’re not meant to live in a cycle of judgment toward others or ourselves. It’s not who we truly are. The harsh voices in our heads that say, “You’re not good enough” or, “You’ll never change”? They’re learned behaviors. One of...

Answer Might Surprise You! Morning vs. Evening Training

Hey Reader, What if the “best” time to work out isn’t as simple as you think? Some people swear by their crack-of-dawn workouts. Others crush it in the evening. I have done both. Morning vs. Evening: What’s the Deal? One study found that evening workouts led to better muscle gains. Sounds great, right? But the catch is, these people were used to training at different times, which might have skewed the results. Another study with basketball players showed afternoon workouts boosted...
