I'm motivated and excited to get in the gym for a killer workout. It's been a few days because I've been so busy! First, it will be twenty minutes on the treadmill, then about twenty-five minutes of lower body exercises, and I'll finish with a solid fifteen minutes of core work.

As I approach the treadmill, I'm immediately disappointed...

"The last easy day was yesterday.", "It's mind over matter.", "No pain, no gain!"

I'm sure we've all heard these catch phrases before, and for how long (if at all!) did they work? All of these sayings are uttered or sometimes yelled to motivate you to push yourself harder to succeed. But let me forewarn you: Strongtown is not here solely to motivate you, if we were then you would use and need us like a mental crutch! And we want you to stand on your own!
