"The longer you are consistent, the more it becomes who you are. I don't work out because I'm motivated. I do it because it's ingrained in me. It doesn't have to look pretty. You can be in your PJs, no shoes or socks, half-asleep, but you feel so much better once it's done." When it comes to daily habits like brushing our teeth, most of us don't really think about it.

Pick what appeals to you. Develop consistency in training using all of the resources available to you. But at first, don't try to stack workouts. Pick ONE thing to focus on each day. The most simple approach AND the one that we lo...

When it comes to exercise, we have been led to be...
