Summary
Most people think they need more discipline or motivation or that they just need to lock in a little harder, and sometimes that is true, but a lot of the time the people actually making progress are not better than you, they have just built an environment where the right decisions happen more automatically. In this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony are breaking down the tools they actually use to make losing fat, gaining muscle, and sticking to your diet easier to execute day to day, from gym add ons like straps, belts, and apps, to simple kitchen tools that take the guesswork out of eating, to a few things outside of both that help you stay consistent without having to rely on willpower every single day.
