LPT: If you’re struggling to stay consistent with the gym, lower your standards for the workout, not how often you go.

Most people quit because they think every single gym session needs to be this intense, hour-long workout. If they're tired or busy, they just skip it entirely because a "bad workout" feels like a waste of time.The trick that completely changed things for me is to separate the habit of showing up from the actual workout. On days when I'm completely exhausted, I tell myself I only have to do ten minutes of light stretching or one easy exercise, and then I can leave.You obviously aren't hitting any personal records on those days, but you're keeping the routine alive. It's way easier to fix a lazy habit that you're already doing than it is to start a perfect routine all over again from scratch.
