From the top...


Sometimes we need to start over.  We may get injured and have to take time off to recover.  We may have an especially busy or stressful time with work or family and lose track of our workouts.  This is all right.  It happens.

Starting over can be frustrating.  Things we used to do easily require way more time and effort than we think they should.  We want to pick up where we left off, not backtrack.

Here’s the thing:  we have to work with who we are in this moment.  Maybe last year we were stronger, or maybe we were totally awesome in high school.  Maybe not.  When we start a workout, time is new.  The past doesn’t count.  The barbell doesn’t care whether we used to lift more or fewer plates along with it.  We build the future by having an open and accepting attitude about what we can do today.


Let’s get awesome.
