Episode description

Working out might be a physical endeavor, but our brains sure do like to get in the way sometimes! In today's episode we lay out the 5 most common mental pitfalls we see when it comes to fitness and working out, and we hope that by bringing awareness to them, we can help you stop them in their tracks when they start to pop into your head!

The episode kicks off with us giving some general life updates - chatting about our kids and our thoughts on this season of Stranger Things. Feel free to skip ahead to the 7 minute mark if you want to get right into the meat of today's topic!


As a quick summary, here are the 5 pitfalls we outline:

  1. Comparing yourself to your previous self
  2. Comparing yourself to others
  3. Trying to increase everything all at once
  4. Chasing novelty due to boredom
  5. Focusing on calories burned over other markers of success


We hope you enjoy the episode!
