Renaissance Periodization - Pre-Workout Helps Build HABITS?
The speaker in the video emphasizes the importance of creating small rituals to aid in habit formation and consistency, particularly in the context of workouts. By establishing mini rituals, such as drinking a pre-workout drink and associating it with the start of a workout, individuals can create a structured routine that helps them overcome procrastination and maintain consistency. The speaker suggests that even if the pre-workout drink isn't specifically designed for workouts, the act of consuming it can serve as a psychological trigger to initiate the workout. This approach can help individuals push through challenges and maintain a steady routine, ultimately leading to better habit stabilization.
