Building a Routine ? Week 2
Clark Beggs
I help brands get stuck in their customers' heads by defining and implementing memorable brand strategies.
Week one of my family’s routine-building challenge is in the books. Our goal was to get 5 exercise sessions in during the week. We did it! Did it play out like we planned it? Not at all.
We try to loosely plan our week out on Sunday evenings and so our strategy was to calendar the week’s exercises. The intent was to do all of these as a family. Here’s what the calendar looked like:
M, W, Th: Walk at 7pmF: Climb at 4pm
Sa: Walk at 7pm
Here’s what actually happened:
M: It was real hot at 7pm so I went on a run later in the evening with my brother and Auni went on a walk earlier in the day.
W - We worked on painting the inside of our house after work (ICYMI we’ve been renovating our home for what seems like a decade). Auni did some exercising earlier in the day. I didn’t.
Th - I swung a kettlebell around and Auni rode the stationary bike.
F - Auni had been painting most of the day (at Penny University and at home) so we opted to skip climbing – until Emilia remembered we were gonna go and got sad that we’d rescheduled. So I took her and we had a good session at Alpine.
Sa - went on another run with Spencer – he’s training for a 10k, I’m trying not to die. Nailed it. Auni rode the stationary bike some more.
Su - we finally went on a family walk - Ramona even towed my cousin’s dog, Mochi for a bit.
