Set a Schedule
A successful gym schedule doesn’t leave anything to chance, Conroy says. “Scheduling your workouts at regular times will make exercise become part of your routine. You’ll start doing it without thinking.” First, ask yourself when you can realistically—not ideally—get to the gym. “There’s nothing more discouraging that shooting for five days a week and ending up doing twice a week,” Montenegro says. Once you determine the when, find the most convenient locale possible. She also recommends visiting prospective health clubs at the times you plan to workout to ensure equipment is available when you need it most.
