Motivation comes and goes. Systems keep you going when it's gone.

1. Make it social. Tell your partner you'll train today and log it where they can see.
2. Shrink the workout. A 15-minute walk still counts and keeps the streak alive.
3. Add a stake. Missing costs you dinner duty? Suddenly you find the time.
4. Track the streak, not the scale. Showing up is the win.
5. Celebrate together. Mark milestones like your first 4-week streak.
