Strategies to increase adherence to long-term fitness plans include establishing realistic goals, creating structured schedules, and incorporating social support. Setting specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals can help individuals stay motivated and track progress. Furthermore, involving friends or fitness groups fosters accountability. Keeping workouts enjoyable through variety and regularly revisiting one’s motivations can enhance commitment. Using technology, such as fitness apps, to monitor progress can also reinforce adherence to fitness routines.
