There’s a cycle I see people get caught in all the time – and it makes staying on track with workouts and nutrition super difficult. Here’s how one of my clients, Josh, put it: “Things get super challenging (work/home/etc.) > less time > don’t get self care (time alone, workouts, etc.) > lower mood >…

For most of my adult life, I’ve been a full-time fitness professional. But I have a confession to make. Fitness can feel like a chore. That’s right, even “professionals” don’t always feel motivated. And neither do my clients. That’s normal. Nobody feels motivated all the time. Fitness is kind of like flossing. You don’t always…
