A monthly schedule is a great way to plan out your fitness plan. It enables you to mark those days where you can or cannot exercise. If you know that you have commitments on certain days, then you can dedicate that day solely to that. However, you can lineup those days which you are ready to dedicate for exercising. If there is a commitment that you think you can change, then have it planned way before time.
