If you are looking to get started or increase your workout consistency, your day planner will take you further than scrolling through Instagram for motivation.

Motivation is typically enough to get started, but you will quickly fall off track without a structured plan. If you want to make fitness a priority, then your workouts need to have a time slot in your schedule. Having a written plan to workout at specific time and place has been shown to double or even triple the chances at success.
