HOW TO BUILD…A SUSTAINABLE ROUTINE
Men's Fitness UK
|August 2022
The Movement Blueprint’s Harvey Lawton explains how to set yourself up for success

‘Routine’ is probably the single most overused term within coach-client relationships. It also almost always lacks context. A training programme will provide a routine, but to be executed effectively it relies on a number of sub-routines also being implemented. It’s important to understand the core factors that contribute to a successful routine – and the fact that most of those factors are based on the time you spend away from working out.
Ultimately, a successful routine is built brick by brick. You need to ensure it is progressively achievable rather than aggressively impossible, and make sure every component of your routine contributes to your goal.
