    1. Same time every day — Habit stacking works. Attach your workout to an existing routine.

    2. Track your progress — Use Locked In Mindset to log check-ins and see your streak grow.

    3. Progressive overload — Add 2 reps per week or slow down the tempo.

    4. Rest days matter — Take 1-2 days off per week for recovery.
