517: Finding Fitness Not Fanaticism with Mike Nelson

Most of us overestimate what we can accomplish in a year and underestimate what we can accomplish in the next five years. With health and fitness, most of us focus so much on the short term that we don’t allow ourselves the space to make lasting change. On this week’s podcast, we’ll discuss finding fitness, not fanaticism, by focusing on doing things you enjoy to achieve sustainable long-term results.  Listen and learn: How negative self talk, even subtle negativity, can undermine your success How to be fiercely consistent in your plan Why it’s important to fail forward How it can take a full two years to change into a ‘lifelong exerciser’  Links Mike’s Website ABOUT OUR GUEST Mike T.
