We’re back from a great time at the Lake of the Ozarks.
I learned two things from my soon-to-be college freshman:
First, his old man can still outdrive him off the tee.
Two, he won an uncomfortable number of holes, so my reign is in jeopardy:)
So, what do I mean when I say, “the gym isn’t the hard part”?
That may sound strange coming from a golf trainer who spends a lot of time in the gym, but hear me out.
For most people, the workout lasts an hour…if that.
The other 23 hours are where progress is made or lost.
It’s choosing to go to bed instead of scrolling for another hour.
It’s grabbing a meal with enough protein instead of whatever’s easiest.
It’s drinking water, taking a walk, managing stress, and making dozens of small decisions that no one else ever sees.
The workout is important, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle.
If we’re honest with ourselves, most of us don’t struggle because we don’t know how to exercise.
We struggle because life gets busy, priorities shift, and those small daily habits start to slip.
When we take a step back, the more we see that fitness isn’t really about the hour you spend training.
It’s about everything that surrounds it.
That’s been on our minds a lot lately, and it’s shaping how we’re thinking about the future of 18STRONG.
More on that this week.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
