There are countless ways to succeed on your health and fitness journey, but only one way to guarantee failure: doing nothing.
Tell yourself, “The timing is bad.”
Read one more book.
Get one more opinion.
Avoid the conversation.
Hide.
Analyse it again.
Tell people you’re the victim.
Worry.
Wait…
Wait…
Wait…
Inspired by the words of Chris Cooper, this approach may feel familiar. If you find yourself not seeing the health and fitness results you want, it’s worth examining where your time and priorities lie. Taking a closer look at how you wish your time was spent versus how it actually is can reveal surprising insights.
Step 1: A Time & Priority Analysis
Take a few minutes to jot down in order of priority how you would like your time to be spent, using these areas as a guide:
- Family
- Money
- Work/Business
- Health & Fitness
- Friends
This exercise can be a powerful eye-opener. For many, the intention to prioritise health and fitness is there, but it doesn’t always line up with reality. Identifying where your time is actually going might be the catalyst you need to make lasting changes.

Short-Term Actions for Lasting Impact
Once you have a clearer picture of your priorities, here are some easy, actionable steps to get started:
- Time Blocking: Schedule at least one (ideally three) training session(s) each week as “non-negotiable” time for yourself.
- Adjust Your Training Time: If your day is packed, consider training at non-traditional hours like early morning (6 am) or late evening (7:40 pm), these are just examples of our Small Group PT training sessions. Even if you can’t stay for the entire session, doing something is better than nothing and that is how we operate here at Primal Mvmnt Fitness & Nutrition.
- Lunchtime Training: Starting this week (Monday 4th November), we’re adding lunchtime sessions (12:00-1:00 pm), giving you another option to fit fitness into your day.
- Set a Specific Goal: Define a short-term goal (e.g., “I want to feel stronger in 6 weeks”) to keep motivation high. Just be sure that the goal is clear, realistic and measurable.
Implementing even a few of these tips can positively impact your mindset and give you the energy and efficiency boost you need to tackle daily demands. Prioritising a workout—even a short one—can be transformative for your productivity and focus.
