This week, notice all the ways in which you seek the option of comfort over the more difficult choice:\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you take the elevator or escalator instead of the stairs? <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you skip your workouts because you\u2019re too busy, yet spend hours scrolling social media on your phone? If you\u2019re not sure where your time goes, do a time audit and find out. Check your phone to see how many hours you\u2019re on it every day. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you avoid making the conscious decision to lift heavier weights in the gym to avoid feeling challenged, and instead opt to stay on auto-pilot and just \u201csurvive\u201d the workout? <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you choose the fast food line for lunch over the high-protein homemade meal?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you avoid going to full range of motion or move too quickly through your strength workout because it\u2019s too uncomfortable to use correct technique and your ego takes over? <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
– Do you skip your mobility work because you \u201cdon\u2019t feel like doing it?\u201d Even though 5-10 minutes would help ease pain and stiffness and improve tissue quality to help optimize your strength training workouts. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
These seemingly insignificant habits add up over time, and eventually lead you in the opposite direction of where you want to go.<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you treat every rep of every set of every exercise of every workout like it matters, your results will come faster than you can imagine.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s when you repeatedly cut corners for weeks, and months that you eventually discover you are far off the path you intended to be on.\u00a0<\/span>Simply <\/span>going through the motions<\/em> isn\u2019t going to get you results. You have to be stretched in order to change. Don\u2019t bury your head in the sand and hope for the best.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Everything you want is on the other side of the shit you don\u2019t want to do. Make it a great week. You have options.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
