Inspiration

A new year, new semester or new job beautifully symbolizes a new chapter opening. While so many people aspire to achieve ambitious goals, only 12% ever experience the taste of victory.

Have you ever given up on a habit or self-improvement? How about health and fitness goals? Was it due to:

Lack of external motivators,
Too sore making you miss your next planned workout, or
Not sure where to start?
