If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent at the gym, the book Atomic Habits by James Clear might be the game-changer you need.
The core idea is simple: small, consistent actions—what Clear calls “atomic habits”—compound over time into massive results. Instead of focusing on huge, intimidating goals, focus on getting 1% better every day.
The 1% Rule in Fitness
When it comes to working out, improving by just 1% each day might mean doing one more rep, stretching for five extra minutes, or simply showing up when you don’t feel like it. Over time, these small efforts stack up, making fitness a natural part of your lifestyle.
My #1 Atomic Habit for the Gym
One of the easiest ways to build consistency is by reducing friction—making it as effortless as possible to get to the gym. This is an idea I stole from Ramit Sethi in his book I Will Teach You to be Rich; my go-to atomic habit is packing my gym bag the night before. This simple step removes excuses in the morning and sets me up for success.
In my latest video, I walk you through exactly how I pack my gym bag and the products I use to stay prepared and motivated. Check it out below! 👇
