Transcript: The Night-Before Gym Trick That Ended My Morning Excuses | Workout Consistency Hack

Welcome to More Movement, Please. This is famous

Ashley Grant. And today I want to talk about

the importance of preparing to go to the gym

the night before. Now, I know this is standard

advice that people give all the time. But now

that I'm actually in the thick of things and

going to the gym more regularly, I see just how

important it is. The days that I don't have my

clothes ready and my recovery drinks already

in the fridge and everything ready to go. are

the most hectic mornings of ever. And I can see

how when someone is trying to get themselves

motivated to go work out, the slightest inconvenience

can just make you throw in the towel and say,

you know what, screw it. I'm not going today.

I'll go another day. But if you put just a little

bit of planning in, it's so worth it. And I'm

the type of person that I don't really like to

plan ahead. have fought against that as long

as I can remember. But the truth is, I have had

no choice but to start doing that. I plan a lot,

like more than I ever have in my whole life.

I put every single exercise that I plan to do

for the week into the calendar. And I do my best

the night before to make sure everything I need

for the gym days is ready to go. For example,

this morning, It's been a very hectic morning

because I could not find the shirt that I wanted

to wear to the gym because I've learned that

there are certain outfits that I can't really

wear anymore without feeling constricted and

having difficulty with my workouts. So it...

light bulb moment, right? As soon as I was looking

for this shirt, I was getting upset with myself,

realizing that I should have already had it ready

to go. And so it just kind of reinforced the

importance of it to me. Now, grant you, the difference

here is I've been doing this more than 100 days.

And so I'm already motivated, already wanting

to go to the go to the gym, regardless of whether

or not I had all my things together. But when

you're looking for those reasons to, oh, I can

just wait until next time, or we'll just do it

another day. the slightest inconvenience can

totally screw you up. So if you're considering

starting to work out and you want to start tomorrow,

tonight, before you go to bed, make sure all

the things you need to work out tomorrow are

ready to go. And make sure you put it into your

calendar to plan this date with yourself, this

important appointment that you need to keep so

you can start taking better care of your health.

So hopefully this tip helps someone and I hope

that you will start working out if you haven't

already. I wish you the absolute best. So onwards

and upwards, my friends. Have you worked out
