Make training sessions a fixed part of your weekly schedule
You should follow a few basic rules to make sure that sport remains a fun activity and your good intentions do not fall by the wayside. One of these is to make your training periods or training programme a fixed part of your daily and weekly routine.
Be it a regular morning run before work or fixed training sessions with a team or a squash or tennis partner - sports must have a fixed slot in your calendar along with all your other "dates".
Perhaps you have set your sights on a performance target, for example 1,000 metres of front crawl, or a specific frequency, such as going to the gym twice a week. If you are aiming for a target, it is a good idea to follow a training plan.
Pay attention to peak times
Depending on our biorhythm, there are times of day at which the body adjusts especially well to exercise. The first peak occurs between 10 a.m. and 12 noon, the second between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Of course, there are also people who get up early because the thought of a quick 30-minute run lures them out of bed.
