3 Things I Do Before & During Training

1. Put it in my schedule.
This helps me stay accountable so I can manage my training sessions around work and home time.
2. Create a clear process toward my goals.
This includes what to achieve each week and month. Before individual sessions, I will also decide 2-3 things I want to accomplish during my workout. This could be something as simple as holding a certain RPM or how to move more efficiently during burpees. It's not always about chasing the biggest numbers each session, it's always important to look at the bigger picture as well. If I can get 1% better every session, then, over the long term, that's going to add up to some pretty significant changes;
3. ABS.
I write this on the board occasionally when I'm having a tough session and need a little reminder:
Attitude: how I choose to respond to challenges or when things are not going as planned.
Breathe: this sounds silly, but it's easily forgotten and highly underrated.
Smile: Remember to be grateful that I'm healthy enough to work out and do what I love.
