More or Less

The New Year brings a lot of excitement into the gym. It also can bring a lot of pressure to do something, because you’re supposed to. I get caught up thinking that way too.

The fresh start is so enticing, I’ll have thoughts like… I better start a new back squat cycle since I missed a few sessions around the holidays… And I should run more so that doesn’t continue to wither away… And since I’ll be running and lifting my diet should be dialed in… I’ll start counting my macros… And there’s the GAIN Walking Challenge… And so on.

The freshness and excitement can overwhelm you with ideas and prevent you from making any positive changes though.  Today, I want you to consider this, what do you need to de-prioritize?

What’s no longer helping you, or maybe getting in the way of a new habit?

Adding too much in at once is straight path to burn out. Ask yourself this, can you cut something out instead of adding something in?
