Summary

What happens when all the motivation in the world won't do anything? It's something Arnold hears all the time. It's not that people don't want to change; it's that the ability to get started -- sometimes, literally getting out of bed -- can feel like a challenge. If you're stuck or have moments where you feel like you're not making the most of your days, this episode is for you. Arnold shares his advice for overcoming those barriers, the main takeaways from a study about overcoming morning grogginess, and the workout of the week.

0:00.0	Welcome to Arnold's pump club. I believe that fitness is for everyone. So I'm using the power
0:07.3	of machines to make you healthier in about five minutes. I'm not a cybernetic organism.
0:14.1	But I do have an important mission. We are building the positive corner of the internet. And each day
0:23.2	I'll help you become a little better. Let's get to today's news motivation and advice.
0:30.6	Is today's Monday motivation. I keep getting a question from people in our email replies and
0:37.3	on social media. And I want to take it on this week. People ask me what to do when they feel like
0:42.8	they can't get out of bed. And my first thought is to say I just gave you workouts. A story about
0:48.4	how I had to come back from a surgery where it was a win to walk 10 steps and a system for meeting
0:54.5	your goals. How can that not get you going? But I told you to flex your empathy muscles last
1:00.6	week. So now it's my turn. I realize a lot of you feel stuck and I want to reach out to you too
1:07.9	when you feel like you can't even get out of bed. Motivation isn't enough. So let's analyze what's
1:13.5	going on. We are going to share more studies about how people get unstuck. But in the meantime
1:20.8	I think that part of this is whether it is chemical or something else you've convinced yourself you
1:26.8	don't have any power and you don't have a reason to try anymore. Maybe you've tried a few times and
1:32.6	you failed and you just think you fail again no matter what. You've internalized that whatever is
1:38.4	holding you back will always win. I think you need to show your mind and body that you are in control.
1:45.5	To do so you need a reason to try again. So let me help you find that reason.
1:52.4	Even when I feel like crap and want to sleep a little there are things that keep me going.
1:59.2	Every morning once the sun starts peeking through my windows the animals are screaming to be fed so
2:04.8	I can't let them down. They give me a reason not to get stuck in bed but I don't stop there.
2:11.4	You can also close the curtains or ignore the noise. I also tell my friends to meet at seven
2:19.9	to start a bike ride. I can't let them down either. Do you have anyone that can help hold you
