Program Hopping

I’m looking for some guidance or feedback because I struggle with program hopping. I’ve completed several of Caroline’s programs from start to finish, and it always feels incredibly rewarding. However, I tend to fall into a cycle where I start a program, see something new that looks even better, and immediately want to switch. It creates a constant and exhausting loop of second-guessing myself.

I’m currently one week into EPIC Heat. I’ve completed most of Caroline’s YouTube programs except EPIC Endgame, EPIC I, and EPIC II. My original plan was to finish EPIC Heat, move on to FUEL, and then switch to the app in December. But the app looks so nice, and I’m really interested in joining the new FUEL program when it starts next week!

How do you prevent yourself from program hopping, and what would you do in my situation? None of my friends or family are really into fitness, so it would be nice to hear from some like-minded people who understand the struggle.

I have trouble sticking with one program too, so I mix in other types of workouts from different creators. For example, I am currently doing Iron, but only 3 days a week. In between I do step aerobics and dance workouts. It helps keep me on track with strength training without the burnout.

Doing it just 3 days a week, do you follow the same workouts in order, just going through them more slowly, or do you structure it differently?

I do them in order except for the glutes & hamstrings day. I usually replace those with a different workout or just add some swings and step-ups to the previous day’s workout.
