Description

🤔 EP060 - If you’re one of the millions of people who ride the rollercoaster of losing weight only to regain it and then some, what do you do when you’re running low on motivation, willpower, and self-discipline so that you can still be consistent with your diet and training so that you don’t end up regaining all the weight you worked so hard to lose?

“Money, success, fame…all of that is irrelevant. What matters is how you think about yourself when you’re by yourself.” - Tom Bilyueu

🎙️ In today’s PodWod, we be crushing our PHYSICAL Health & Fitness.

We all want to be in better shape. Whether that’s losing weight, building muscle, or total body recomposition, one thing is certain - consistency and commitment are the king and queen of it all. 

Most of us blame what I call the trifecta of trouble - a lack of motivation, willpower, and self-discipline - as to why we lack consistency and commitment. But as Stan Efferding put very bluntly, “If you lack motivation, I can help you with that. That’s your problem to solve.”

Before we jump into the busiest time of year for every gym around the world, I think it’s time we re-think what really keeps us from keeping our promises to ourselves and staying consistent with our commitments so that when the trifecta of trouble kicks in, we have a solid solution for our New Year’s Resolutions.
