“I’m too tired.” “It’s too cold.” “I have no time to spare.” “The gym is too far.” “I don’t own any workout clothes.”
Sound familiar? They’re all common excuses as to why we won’t commit to starting a new workout routine.

When listing our goals we must be clear and practical and we must be able to track our progress on a timeline.
