It’s addictive to put your faith into a new workout program, fitness hack or whatever else is in vogue. To pour your hope into thinking that one of those is the missing link between you and your goals.

Even when you know this is only your mind’s flathead screwdriver twisting your thoughts into submission. Because damn you gullible human psychology.

Drill into what’s stopping you from reaching your health and fitness goals. Reduce your struggle down to the first principle.

More than a new workout, you’ll likely need encouragement, support, structure and discipline to do the things you already know you should do.

Acknowledging that helps you stop chasing the nonsense that the Internet hopes to force-feed you.
