Alright, gather round, my budding fitness fanatics! Today, we’re going to chat about something that’s as elusive as Bigfoot but potentially more impactful on your life (no offense to Bigfoot). Let’s talk about consistency, the missing key to staying motivated.

Remember how we all went crazy over the warnings of 6 former Surgeons General back in 2022? Those true health superheroes, spanning across 6 different administrations, issued public warnings about the dangers of misinformation in health and wellness. If memory serves, the phrase “Fitness isn’t a fad, it’s a lifestyle” was thrown around more than a frisbee at a dog park. Well, that truth bomb has got us thinking about the importance of consistent habits and routines in our journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Now, before you start picturing yourself as a hamster running endlessly on a wheel, let me clarify. Consistency doesn’t mean doing the same ol’ treadmill run day in and day out. Instead, it’s about regularly investing in healthy habits and sticking with them even when the initial motivation fades (usually around week 3, the notorious honeymoon phase of fitness).

The science backs this up! Research shows that it takes an average of 66 days for a behavior to become automatic. That’s about 9 weeks, folks, not 3. The three-week mark is often just when the novelty wears off, and we start missing pizza night or snoozing that 6 a.m. alarm for the gym. But hold your cheese-stuffed crusts, folks, because the benefits of pushing past this dip are enormous!

From improved sleep, reduced stress, to better overall health – all these gifts are waiting for you on the other side of consistency. But, you might ask, “how on earth do I keep the flame of fitness alive after week 3?” Ah, glad you asked!

Here’s where your clever buddy, SimpleFitness.ai, comes into play. No, it’s not some fancy robot sent from the future to make humans buff (although who wouldn’t want that!).
