| Have a Plan. Follow the Plan. Whether you’re preparing for a specific workout like Murph or just training to feel and look your best, it’s important to have a plan.A plan gives you structure, and structure holds you accountable.We all have different health and fitness goals we’re working towards. If you approach those goals without any structure, how will you measure your progress? How will you know if you’re taking steps in the right direction?This is why everyone can benefit from having a plan.But remember, a plan is only as good as how well you stick to it. #EFFORTOVEREVERYTHING |
