Who else has kicked off their week with a workout?\u2019<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">At this time of year, with the unpredictable British weather, stationary exercise bikes really come into their own. And \u2013 bonus \u2013 they\u2019re also brimming with features to keep you motivated, from adjustable resistance to HD screens and virtual cycling trips around the world. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/uk\/product-reviews\/health-leisure\/g37817604\/best-exercise-bikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/uk\/product-reviews\/health-leisure\/g37817604\/best-exercise-bikes\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Here\" data-node-id=\"14.1\" class=\"body-link css-7v8mn9 emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Here<\/a>, the Good Housekeeping Institute\u2019s testing team have rated the very best.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"20\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But even with the prospect of an indoor rather than outdoor workout, it can be challenging to find the get-up-and-go on a Monday morning. Baroness Brady recently revealed to The Sun she has a very \u2018set routine\u2019 when it comes to exercise. And she\u2019s also revealed how important consistency and discipline is in her world \u2013 particularly when it comes to her career.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"25\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">  <br data-node-id=\"25.1\"\/>\u2018In the early years of my career, I ran on motivation,\u2019 she shared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNidBzDiNMP\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNidBzDiNMP\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Instagram\" data-node-id=\"25.3\" class=\"body-link css-7v8mn9 emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>. \u2018I loved the rush of new opportunities, the spark of inspiration, and the excitement of starting something new. Motivation made me bold \u2013 it helped me leap into challenges others hesitated to take. But I also learned that motivation is temporary. It can fade when things get difficult, when progress slows, or when the novelty wears off.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s where discipline comes in. Discipline isn\u2019t glamorous. It doesn\u2019t offer an instant rush. But it\u2019s what keeps progress moving on the days when motivation disappears. It\u2019s what builds consistency, develops skills, and turns intentions into sustainable outcomes. Discipline is the force that transforms late nights into completed projects and goals into habits.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Related StoryRelated Story<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a weekend switching off, Monday often feels like the hardest day of the week\u2026 and the last&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":614728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[38],"tags":[263546,2392,263548,1201,1198,210,1200,263547,263545,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-614727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-263546","tag-content-type-feature","tag-contentid-a2658414-c7c2-4572-bcad-b4a40de9cd54","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-locale-gb","tag-shares-fitness-motivation-trick","tag-shorttitle-karren-brady","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116130373418545423","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=614727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/614728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=614727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=614727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=614727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
