the MOST important fitness habit

Dare I say this is the MOST important habit when it comes to your fitness success?

Obviously choosing just one is tough, but if I had to pick - it’s:

Showing up for your workouts even when you don’t feel like it.

We’re talking about the workouts you have to force yourself to after a long day of work, desperately want to snooze through after a late night, or just straight up want to skip because you’re feeling lazy. But you get yourself to the gym and you power through anyway.

To be clear, there is a time and place for rest and recovery. If you’re a regular reader here you already know that :) If you’re sick, injured, or have a programmed rest day then it’s ok to skip.

But if you’re just not feeling it? Those are the days that are most important. Because if you’re like me, there are far more days you don’t feel like it than ones you do! And if you skipped all those days, you wouldn’t make much progress - if any at all.

The days you don’t feel like it could be your biggest opportunity. Show up, make those consistent deposits to your health and watch them compound over time.

Plus, you’re building a very important life skill here - doing the thing you don’t want to do but you know will move you towards your goals.

This is how you become the person you really want to be.

Love ya,
