At Primal Mvmnt, we know that life can get hectic. Work deadlines, family commitments, social events—it all adds up, and suddenly, your training takes a backseat. But staying consistent with your functional fitness routine is key to progress, maintaining strength, and feeling your best. So how do you keep training on track even when life gets in the way? Here are our top strategies:
1. Prioritise Short, Effective Workouts
You don’t need hours in the gym to maintain fitness. Functional training is built for efficiency—high-intensity, full-body movements that give you maximum results in minimal time. On busy days, a 20-30 minute session of compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses) can keep you progressing without sacrificing hours.
2. Schedule Your Training Like an Appointment
If it’s in the calendar, it’s non-negotiable. Treat your workouts like any other important meeting—book them in advance and show up! Whether it’s an early morning session, a lunchtime class, or an evening workout, find what works for your schedule and commit to it.
3. Stay Accountable with a Community
One of the best things about Primal Mvmnt is our community. Training alongside like-minded people keeps motivation high. If you’re struggling to stay consistent, reach out to a coach, book into a class, or get a training partner. Knowing someone is expecting you makes it harder to skip a session!
4. Be Flexible and Adapt
Life won’t always go to plan, so being adaptable is key. Can’t make your usual session? Swap it for a shorter home workout. Travelling? Our coaches can provide workouts to do anywhere. Functional training is versatile—keep moving, even if it’s not your perfect session.
5. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
Consistency isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up, even in small ways. If you miss a workout, don’t dwell on it—just get back on track. One session is always better than none, and progress is built over time with small, consistent efforts.
At Primal Mvmnt, we’re here to help you stay committed, no matter how busy life gets. Keep moving, stay strong, and don’t let life’s chaos derail your fitness journey!
