5 habits that matter more than your program
A good program helps. But the boring stuff around it does most of the work.
We see it again and again in the app. Two people run the same program from the Workout Library. One gets great results, the other stalls. The difference is nearly always what happens outside the gym.
Here are the five habits we'd start with.
1. Sleep
Aim for seven hours or more. Training hard on five hours of sleep is like driving with the handbrake on.
2. Steps
A daily step goal keeps you moving on rest days and helps with fat loss more than most people expect. The Whole Thing tracks steps alongside your other habits so you can see the streak build.
3. Protein
Most people under-eat it. Log your food for a week and check your protein number. You might be surprised.
4. Water
Simple, cheap and easy to forget. Add it as a habit and tick it off each day.
5. Turning up
Consistency beats intensity. Three sessions a week for a year beats six sessions a week for a month.
Make it easy
Set these up on the Habits screen and they'll sit next to your training and food. Not sure where to start? Tap Odin and ask him to pick two habits for you this week. Start small, then add more once they stick.
