Knowing the benefits you can expect to experience throughout your fitness journey is critical for staying committed and consistent. When we have a skewed understanding or vision of what our progress should look like, we can become discouraged and distracted once we are in the thick of our journey. In this interview with Vegan Superhero Academy Coach Sawyer, we discuss how we can be realistic with our vision (but still feel challenged), steps we can take to avoid disappointment, and learn a better perspective to take when it comes to fitness progress and goals. Sawyer explains how these principles not only changed his own life by sharing personal stories but also how these concepts have helped bring success to Vegan Superhero Academy members.///Learn more about the Vegan Superhero AcademyMeet VSA Coach SawerConnect with us on InstagramUse our Free Vegan Macro CalculatorSupport the show
