Chasing fitness can feel like endlessly pursuing more money - where “enough” is always out of reach. If getting fit didn’t magically fix all your problems, let’s talk about where to go from here.

Despite knowing that less can be more, many of us still struggle to change our behavior. Today, I want to dive into why that is. I've been there, gradually cutting back on my own training hours, and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. I had all these doubts creeping in about losing my identity as an athlete, my strength, and even how I'd look.

So, if you're feeling hesitant about dialing things back, know that you're not alone. But trust me, it's worth it.
