Muscle Minute #144: The One Rule That Changed My Fitness Forever

"I just made a decision, no matter what, I won’t miss more than a week's workout for the rest of my life."

When I was 17 or 18, I saw a guy in his 50s who was absolutely shredded. I had to interrupt his workout to ask him for advice—he had the body I wanted, and I knew I had to learn from him.

I asked him, "What’s the key? I want to look like that when I’m your age."

He told me, "I never miss more than a week of workouts. I’m just really consistent. That’s what it takes—start and never stop."

I remembered this advice especially after I missed a whole summer of training during my sophomore year of high school. I hated the way I felt, and from that moment on, I made a vow that I would never miss more than a week of working out, no matter what.

That one decision changed everything for me. Consistency has been the key, and the feeling of being in shape, strong, and confident is addictive. Trust me, you won’t regret starting today.

Start now—not tomorrow.
