I think I signed up so long ago I can’t remember doing it! I surprised myself when I hit comment and realised I had a substack! Actually writing one is defo on thr never ending and extremely long to do list!
I loved this read, thank you. I don't know if this could be helpful to anyone, but am personally trying to get both consistency and variety by doing different activities across the week, but doing them every week. I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, I do resistance training on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and I do two short evening sessions of either Pilates or yoga during the week, too. Hopefully, this way my body and brain get variety, but my following the same pattern every week, I'm also being consistent.
I often think about this (to the point that my husband bemoans my perpetual exercise plans changes!). I did join a gym recently as I decided I wanted to exercise outside of the house as it’s more motivating. I don’t follow a gym routine though, I just do what calls to me each time I go! Much more flexible. My main love is yoga though, which I could do all day every day! (But don’t, because I have a job!)

That sounds like an excellent plan, and also so much going on that it's not the end of the world if you miss one I guess? Feel quite inspired by this!

Ah thank you! Are you moving your newsletter over to Substack? I see you have a URL!

I think flexibility is key! For me anyway, and obviously you, while others need more structure. There's no one-size-fits-all, right??
