0:00.0	welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club. If you listened to the podcast a couple
0:06.8	weeks ago, I told you that momentum, not motivation, gives you sustained success. As much as I love
0:14.8	seeing motivational posters with my quotes in gyms, I know that it is not motivation that helps
0:21.4	people gain strength and lose weight in the gym. But it is consistency showing up every day,
0:29.3	day after day, even on the bad days, until the habit becomes automatic that makes you successful.
0:37.8	I also know that people like to create arbitrary dates to start their fitness journeys.
0:44.8	The day they pick to start is almost never the best day to start because that time is right now.
0:51.5	But how many times do we say the diet starts on Monday or January 1st? I'm finally quitting smoking
0:58.6	or my New Year's resolution is to lose 20 pounds. I want you to think about that and then be
1:05.9	honest with yourself. What's the magic of Mondays? The first of every month and even January 1,

1:20.3	maybe even something you want to do. It is easier to say you'll start some day, you pick in the future
1:25.7	because it means you don't have to do the work today. Let's terminate procrastination. It's why I
1:32.8	wanted to start the finish strong challenge. We shared the first workout in today's Arnold's
1:39.5	Pump Club newsletter. If you're not already getting the newsletter, you can sign up at Arnold's
1:45.9	PumpClub.com. We'll be sending workouts for the challenge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
1:53.0	until the New Year. You don't have to think about anything. You just have to do it. We want to
1:59.4	grow this village and give you more motivation to start your momentum now. So you want flat-footed
2:06.9	and starting from zero. On January 1st, we asked that you share your workouts on your favorite
2:12.6	social media sites. Tag me and use the hashtag Arnold's Challenge. We will pick three random winners
2:20.8	who post their workouts and give them $1,000 each. If you're part of the pump app, just keep doing
2:28.3	your normal workouts and post those because, you know, we are fanatics about sticking to the program.
