Episode Summary:
Does staying consistent with your workouts feel impossible as a busy mom or working woman? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down how to build a workout routine that works for YOUR life—one that’s realistic, effective, and sustainable. Learn how to:

• Structure your workouts (3, 4, or 5 days per week) 🗓️
• Prioritize strength training for results 💪
• Avoid burnout by starting small and building momentum 🔄
• Add fun cardio and accessory days to mix things up 🎉

Consistency isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up and crafting a plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

✅ 1. How Often Should You Work Out?

• 3 Days a Week: Focus on full-body strength workouts to maximize results.
• 4 Days a Week: Use an upper/lower body split (2 days upper, 2 days lower).
• 5 Days a Week: Try a muscle group split (e.g., chest/triceps, back/biceps, legs).
  ➡️ Tip: Start small with 10-minute workouts and build up to 30 minutes as you go.

✅ 2. Prioritize Strength Training Over Everything

• Strength training builds lean muscle, boosts metabolism, and improves long-term health.
• Focus on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and rows.
• Use progressive overload: Gradually increase weights or reps each week.

✅ 3. Design a Routine You’ll Stick To

• Your plan should fit your lifestyle and be realistic.
• Start with small, consistent actions—they beat big, inconsistent efforts every time.
• Commit to 3-4 workouts per week and adjust as you gain momentum.

Bonus Tip: Add Cardio & Accessory Days

• Cardio Day: Try HIIT, running, or spin for variety and calorie burn.
• Accessory Day: Target weaker muscles, improve flexibility, or focus on core strength.
  ➡️ These are bonuses, not requirements—strength training comes first!

Why This Matters:
There’s no “perfect” workout routine, but there’s one that works for YOU. Prioritizing your health—even in small ways—builds energy, confidence, and a strong foundation for the life God has called you to live.
