The Secret to Staying Consistent With Your Workouts (Even When Life Gets Busy)

Consistency is the biggest factor in long-term results—but let’s be honest: life gets in the way. Work, family, stress... it’s easy to miss workouts. Here’s how to stay on track:

• Set a Non-Negotiable Workout Schedule – Treat your workouts like business meetings—you wouldn’t cancel on your boss, so don’t cancel on yourself.

• Have a Backup Plan – Only have 20 minutes? A quick, intense session beats skipping altogether.

• Train at Home When Needed – A set of dumbbells or resistance bands can save the day when you’re short on time.

• Make It Enjoyable – If you hate your routine, you won’t stick to it. Find workouts you like and progress that excites you.

Success isn’t about motivation—it’s about building habits that keep you in the game for life.

Did You Know?: The One Food Most Men Over 40 Should Be Eating More Of

If you want better muscle recovery, stronger joints, and a healthier gut, start eating bone broth.

• Packed with collagen – Supports joint health, skin, and connective tissues.

• High in glycine & glutamine – Helps with gut repair, digestion, and muscle recovery.

• Rich in minerals – Provides electrolytes like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

Easy Fix:

• Sip a cup of bone broth before bed for muscle recovery.

• Use it in soups or as a cooking base for extra nutrients.

It’s one of the easiest ways to support longevity and performance naturally.

Question from Our Readers:

"What’s the best way to improve flexibility without spending hours stretching?"

• Kevin, 52, from Chicago, IL

Static stretching is overrated if you’re not also moving properly. The best way to increase flexibility and mobility? Active movement.

Try These Instead:

• Deep Squat Holds – Improves ankle, hip, and knee mobility.

• World’s Greatest Stretch – Hits hip flexors, hamstrings, and thoracic spine all at once.

• Controlled Eccentrics – Lower slowly into movements like Romanian deadlifts and split squats to lengthen muscles under tension.

• Use Resistance Bands – Add banded distractions (like banded hip openers) to increase mobility.

Move more, stretch less. Dynamic flexibility work before training and eccentric control in your lifts will make you more mobile than hours of static stretching.
