Many people tend to be anxious about their fitness routine.

They want to optimize everything, which leads to overthinking and eventually inconsistency.

If this sounds like you, creating a ritual more be the best thing that you could do.

In fitness,sticking to fundamental principles is much more important than minor details.

Here are a few morning ritual examples from fitness coach Ben Tormey:

2.

Step on the scale.

Daily repetition removes the emotion, the scale weight is now just a number to note down.

If I don’t eat breakfast now, I’ll get distracted by work.

I want to enjoy the food.

When you perform “rituals” like these, actions become routine.

This allow you to pile on small inevitable successes which eventually lead to larger ones.
