But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.
When we get hot, we touch a button and voila! The room cools down to a chilly 68 degrees.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
Then slowly work your way up until you can easily go 30–60 days without giving into the temptation.

One rep, one set, and one step at a time.
And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.
