Consistency definitely is better than trying to have a perfect workout structure. But I do believe having no structure is part of why they're inconsistent. If you look at consistent people they have a routine they can look forward to doing. This is especially true for many of my clients. They struggle with consistency but now that they have a plan they tend to be more consistent people also don't know if they don't know like most people can't even organize a training session properly better organize session the better your results will be the better. Your results will be the more consistent you'll typically be. There's some interesting research on diet adherence for example. If participants see results quicker, they tend to be more adherent to the nutrition changes longer.
People also don't know what they don't know...if you organize your session better your results will be better. The better your results the more consistent you'll typically be.**** voice to text mangled my words.
Might be problematic. That may actually be the case for you to just stick to what you can tolerate and not push it TOO much. However, as long as you progressively load the volume and range of motion (start with very little rotation / movement) then it may still be fine (potentially). Worth a shot but if you don't need rotation, even just something like lateral flexion like a side bend if that's tolerable may still be fine that way you're still targeting the obliques for example.
Good info. I think the most common problem people struggle with is working with consistency- not the lack of a custom tailored program.

Great advice. Thank you. I have spondylolisthesis (unstable spine). I've been told to stay away from hinge and twisting movements. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your thoughts. It is a help.
