Do you have a clear understanding of your goals? How will 20 extra minutes today matter 4 months from now? Today is about the ability to enjoy your training while keeping the structural integrity. The power of the mind and doing self checks before looking at the numbers. We talk about the distractions we all face and why it’s up to us to limit them and focus more on the middle way. Distraction equals stress and the person with the least amount of stress wins.
