It doesn’t matter how disciplined you are, there will be times when your training doesn’t go to plan.

It will feel like you’re taking backward steps, regressing. We’ve all been there.

But it’s in these moments that it’s vital we don’t stop.

You might have to work around an injury. You might have a few sessions where you’re just spinning the wheels.

That’s fine. What matters is you keep going.

The injury will heal. You’ll get through the slump. And then you can turn it back up a notch.

Carry on, and years down the line you’ll forget this ever happened.

Stop, and you’ll wish you never did.

It means the friction that used to stop them going regularly is gone. Their potential just went up exponentially.

But when someone tells me they had a terrible day because they couldn’t make it to the gym — that might be worse than not going at all.

There’s a quote I heard once: “don’t turn your passion into your prison.” Couldn’t agree more.

One of the best things training can do is add to your life. Give you more flexibility, not less.

Training should give you freedom. Not take it away.

If your mental and physical health depend on sticking to a perfect schedule, you’re not just robbing yourself of enjoyment — you’re setting yourself up to fail.

Life gets in the way sometimes. That’s fine.

Your goal is just to stack up more good days than bad ones. Time does the rest.

Getting in shape and focusing on your health is vital.

But the pursuit of being healthier isn’t the win itself — the moments it opens up for you are.

Being in shape just means you get to experience them properly.
