Summary
(This is a re-post of Episode #645 from this time last year)
This is the perfect de-motivational storm and it's up to us to create "something" that starts some momentum. Do you have 20 minutes today? Tomorrow? This is a great way to stay in the game and prime yourself for next week. We get in bad habits of thinking we need more time to do a workout that "is meaningful" but little movements create big results. Now is the time to stay on the train. Don't put it off until next week or the next. Don't talk yourself into postponing the progress train. Action creates understanding.
