5 Simple Habits That Make Fitness Stick (Especially If You’ve Failed Before)

You’ve started a fitness program before. Maybe you felt motivated, bought the right gear, and started out strong… but then, life happened. The motivation fizzled out, and once again, you’re stuck in the cycle of starting over.


Sound familiar?


The problem is, motivation alone isn’t enough to create lasting habits. If you want fitness to stick, you need to focus on habits, not just workouts. That’s what I teach all my clients—especially those who feel like they’ve “failed” at fitness in the past.



✨ 5 Habits to Make Fitness Stick:

  1. Set Small, Achievable Goals

    Start with small wins. Did you complete 2 workouts this week? Awesome—celebrate that! The small wins build momentum.

  2. Create Consistency, Not Perfection

    Your goal isn’t perfection. It’s consistency. Aim for 2–3 times per week and stay consistent for a few months before worrying about doing more.

  3. Get Clear on Why You’re Doing This

    Motivation fades, but your why doesn’t. Whether it’s feeling stronger, avoiding back pain, or fitting into your favorite jeans, know your reason.

  4. Track Your Progress

    Don’t focus just on weight loss or appearance—track energy, sleep, mood, strength, and endurance. These are the real wins.

  5. Build a Routine

    The less you have to think about it, the better. Set a time, commit to it, and make it part of your schedule, just like any other appointment.


💥 Ready to Stop Starting Over?

Building habits takes time, but with the right approach, it doesn’t have to feel like a constant uphill battle. My Strong Start program is all about building habits, so fitness doesn’t feel like a chore anymore—it just becomes part of your life.
