The #1 Reason You Aren't Reaching Your Goals (and How to Fix It)

Hey friends! In this week's episode, we get real about excuses - how they impact our lives and fitness journeys, why we make them, and most importantly, how to overcome them. We know excuses are inevitable (we are definitely not immune!), but we share our own personal tactics for not letting excuses win, like being ruthlessly honest with ourselves, making commitments we can't break, and outsourcing what we don't like doing. We also talk about taking baby steps instead of going all in, readjusting your mindset, and understanding that you don't have to be perfect. The key is knowing yourself and where you're at - it's okay if you aren't ready yet! In the comments, let us know what your biggest excuse is and how you plan to overcome it. We can all inspire each other! And don't forget to like and subscribe for more real talk every week.
