Read MoreAll good things come to an end. And no matter how motivated you might be right now for your current exercise routine, it will change. It will eventually get hard to wake up, show up, man up. Or life might just get complicated with sick family members, financial issues, or a complete work overload. If you aren’t ready for it, this lack of motivation will wallop you right upside the head and you’ll fly right off the exercise train.

I hope you enjoy!!
