Description

In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the most important, and most overlooked, parts of creating a consistent fitness lifestyle: choosing what works for you.

There’s no universal “right” day to start your week. Some people are Monday warriors. Others thrive starting on Sunday. And for many of us, life; careers, kids, travel, energy levels, doesn’t revolve around a traditional calendar. Your fitness journey shouldn’t have to either.

I break down how to design a workout split that aligns with your real life, not social media expectations. Whether you’re starting your training week on a Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, or whenever your schedule allows, the focus is simple: pick a rhythm that makes sense for your body, your responsibilities, and your mental bandwidth.

I also talk about the role of rest days specifically how to place them in your split.

Whether that’s a rest day in the middle of your training week to recover and recharge, or a rest day at the end to reset before the next cycle… the key is choosing what supports your goals and lifestyle.

This episode is your reminder that:
✨ You don’t need to follow someone else’s structure to make progress.
✨ You’re allowed to adjust your routine based on your needs.
✨ Consistency is built on something sustainable — not something forced.

You deserve a fitness plan that works with your life, not against it.
