EP88: Dealing with Lost Progress & Discouragement in Fitness

What do you do when life gets in the way of your fitness goals? How do you overcome the discouragement? How do you get yourself motivated again and make progress?

Christina and Brittany are back once again with another episode. This time the ladies talk about dealing with lost progress or discouragement in fitness and feeling like you just aren’t where you want to be and how to stay on track even when life gets in the way.

In this episode, they talk about:

• The fear of losing progress and how to deal with it
• Focusing on moving forward rather than fixating on lost progress 
• Taking responsibility for losing progress and not shying away from weaknesses
• Dropping the ego and embracing uncomfortable situations
• Ways for getting back on track and progressing faster and more efficiently during rehabilitation
• The analogy of depositing money in a bank account
• A different perspective on failure and why it’s better than complacency
• A GAME PLAN for people feeling discouraged about their fitness progress

Memorable Quotes:

“Examining why you lost that progress is not to make yourself feel bad. It’s to help improve yourself.”

“We all do have weaknesses. So we got to stop shying away from them because our weaknesses are actually our greatest advantage. Because they show you where you need to shift your focus so that you can learn to level up.” 

“If you have the why, we can find the how.”

“Confidence and fitness go hand in hand… When you work out, you are obviously going to feel more competent. When you feel confident, your workouts feel better. And your life feels better.” 

“An expert fails more times than a beginner even tries.”
