Never miss your six pack abs workout
I don’t want to brag here or anything like that, but I haven’t missed my six pack abs workout for past 5 years. I am totally honest with you. Ok, maybe few times, when I had to intentionally make myself skip my workout, because I was sick. But that was 2 times not 23 times.
Now this site is about six pack abs kind of fitness everybody should try to shoot for. And if you want to have six pack abs, you can’t skip your workouts. There is no time for being sore here. And as I hope you know already, soreness is a sign of inconsistency. You have to stay consistent. You have to! If you get sore, you are not consistent.
But, considering the nature of exercise, it is very hard to stay consistent. It is very challenging to do it day in and day out for long time without missing your workout sessions. Only very small number of people can do it and are doing it. The percentage is very small. The odds are heavily against you.
Than there is another group. And those are people who do their workouts semi regularly. This is a little bigger crowd that gets sore often. Not a good think. And lastly, there is a huge group of people who don’t even try to work out.
Now, my advice about death certain consistency is to those semi regular exercisers.
Those who are already consistent and not missing their workouts, they already have their own tricks to do it. If you are one of them, fantastic! Keep doing what you are doing. I can only hope to convince those who don’t exercise at all to start doing so. And hopefully they can use my tricks off dead certain exercise consistency, to get them started. That would really make me seriously happy!
I want to help you stay consistent. I don’t want you to miss your workouts. And I have few tricks I use to keep me incredibly consistent. Get inspired into action and persist!

Never missing my six pack abs workout secret number 1
I get it done at work.
Yes, I know, I am a trainer and trainer work in gym environment. So it’s a no brainer to work out in my job while I work. But, this is not entirely true. Personal training job is well, very personal. My clients are paying me lots of money to give them my 100% personal attention.
I don’t get my workout done while training clients. No good trainers do. I have to be focused on the client at all times, motivating, correcting and pushing them. For personal trainer, there are only few brakes to do some workouts. And I have them between my sessions. And I make sure, my workout gets done in those brake. I having a young child at home am not willing to stay and hang out at the gym after my work is done. There is no time for it.
And so shouldn’t you. But, you might say: Milan, I work in the office, how am I suppose to get my workout done? I don’t have any equipment there. That’s a pretty good concern. And I have an answer for you. I described this work/workout solution in my previous articles.
You need to have a system and few basic pieces of equipment. Couple of heavy enough dumbells, pull up bar and maybe a floor mat.
And than you finish all your prescribed workout for the day at work. I describe the whole process here, here and here. Get inspired, learn it and apply. It really, really, really works. No more going to gym after work. That doesn’t really work for busy people with families.
Don’t wait for the evening. Don’t do it early in the morning. Do it while you work! And that really works! You’ll stay consistent! And that matters a lot!

There are lots of options out there. Pick few and do them. And learn a fun skill in the process. Don’t waste your time one any cardiovascular commercial gym equipment. They are so boring.
