Building a Home Practice
A corner, a mat and twenty minutes: how a routine starts.
A corner, a mat and twenty minutes: how a routine starts.
What matters most
Start with the basics and keep them simple. A plan you can follow three times a week beats a perfect plan you drop after ten days. Write down what you did, how it felt and what you want to change next time.
- Warm up for five to ten minutes.
- Pick two things to improve, not ten.
- End every session with something you enjoy.
Common mistakes
Most people do too much too soon. Add load in small steps and plan your rest days like your training days.
Consistency is the only shortcut there is.
A simple weekly rhythm
Two focused sessions, one long easy one and one day of mobility work are enough for steady progress. Everything else is a bonus.
| Day | Session | Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | Technique | 40 |
| Thursday | Intervals | 35 |
| Sunday | Long and easy | 70 |
