Training Consistently Around a Genuinely Busy Schedule

The training program that gets done consistently will outperform the theoretically perfect program that gets skipped half the time. Realistic scheduling is a training variable, not an afterthought.

Shorter, more frequent sessions can work as well as longer, less frequent ones for many goals — the right structure depends on your schedule as much as your goal.

Treating training sessions like fixed calendar commitments, rather than flexible 'if I have time' blocks, is one of the simplest ways to protect consistency during busy periods.

If your schedule changes often, say so early — a coach can build a program with built-in flexibility rather than one that breaks the first time a week goes sideways.
