Get Outside Your Comfort Zone!

Posted: 02/15/2012

Convinced you “can’t” run a marathon, or sprint at level 10 on that treadmill? … Are you sure about that?

 

Even if you have a physical challenge or condition that limits you in some way, most of us also create false boundaries for ourselves — “no-can-do’s” that are only in our heads. And more and more studies are showing that the thing you think you can’t do just might be the one thing you MUST do to light a fire under your workout results.

January Weekly Tip#2 - Black Tea

Posted: 01/09/2012
