For years, I struggled to maintain a consistent workout routine. I’d start strong, but within days, I’d feel frustrated and overwhelmed, convinced that I had no time outside of work. The last thing I wanted to do with the little free time I had was work out! I found myself stuck in a cycle of feeling unmotivated and sluggish. The less I worked out, the less I wanted to work out.

Fast forward a couple of years, and I've finally established a routine that works for me—and I’m in the best shape of my life! Despite working full-time as an engineer, commuting an hour each way, and juggling more responsibilities than ever, I’ve managed to run multiple half marathons after years of struggling to run a single mile without stopping. I’m stronger and more capable than I’ve ever been.

What truly made the difference for me was changing my perspective on my routine. I used to think that the key to success was sticking to the same workout schedule every week. While that approach works for some people, it didn’t work for me. The rigid structure made me feel like all my time outside of work was consumed by exercise, leaving no room for other hobbies, family, or relaxation. Instead, I embraced flexibility in my routine, and it’s been a game-changer.

As you can see, I mix up my workouts to keep things fresh and engaging! Peloton has made strength training much more accessible for me. By varying my routine throughout the week, I avoid getting bored, which has been key in helping me stick to a consistent movement schedule.
