We made it to another Friday and another Olympics Opening Ceremony.
I love the NHL, but man is there anything better in the hockey world than the Olympics?
It’s gonna be so great.
So, all week, we’ve been talking about mobility – both in the gym and via these daily-ish emails I love writing.
Hopefully, you’ve gotten a lot of good information.
More importantly, you’re ready to take action.
BUT, BEWARE!
Please, please don’t overthink this.
Overthinking is dangerous.
Here’s why:
Thinking about doing something tricks your brain into feeling like you’re making progress.
You get that shot of dopamine, then it’s over.
(even though nothing has gotten done)
Some version of this conversation happens with my soon-to-be-in-college son weekly:
“Hey, you said you were going to take the trash out.
I notice that hasn’t been done yet.
Saying you’re going to do something is NOT doing it.”
Of course, he knows everything, and I’m an idiot for questioning him as he “always” does what he says he’s going to do – just ask him.
One of the hardest parts about getting fit is finding the balance between thinking (researching) and taking action.
This isn’t rocket science.
Soooo many golfers have gone before us.
And showed us the way.
Hey, I get it…
For BIG, irreversible decisions in life: Take your time and do your due diligence.
For minor, reversible decisions: Act fast and adjust based on your results.
Golf and fitness both fall into the second category.
Today, stop overthinking it.
And just get to work.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff

We lay it all out for you. We show you exactly what works (no excuse to overthink that). We do it ourselves every day.
We’re all in this together – and GD it’s fun!
