“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” –Thomas Jefferson.
Mindset can be a deal breaker or a deal maker when it comes to achieving your fitness goals. In fact, it’s the key to unlocking your health and fitness goals.
As our guest today mentions on his website: Over 70% of the U.S population is either overweight or obese. Every day we see the newest ‘secrets,’ fads, diets, and quick fixes. We see thousands of ways to improve our fitness and it becomes overwhelming.
It’s apparent that progress can seem nearly impossible to attain if your mind’s not right! Today on the Strong By Design podcast, Scott Friedman speaks about how the right mindset creates motion and momentum in your life!
“You’re never going to be completely sure of everything that you do, but as long as you’ve trained yourself to overcome those little rationalizations you can do a lot with that.” – Scott Friedman
