fitness motivation

Consider making your goals process-based as opposed to results-based.

The difference between you and a fairytale is, there is no author scripting your outcomes.

Willpower is the ability to be the person you want to be, rather than an impulsive, whiny child. It is the power to create your life.

A large majority of us—yes, even your coaches and fitness idols—have to dig up that motivation in any way we can.

Stop selling fitness through the promise of a bikini body, and instead be good to your body, feel strong and empowered, and to be grateful for what our bodies can do.

For all the money you spend on your fitness life to be worth it, you first must program your mind.
