The Little Black Book of Workout Motivation (Muscle for Life)

Master the psychological “playbook” top performers use to shift their negative thinking and behaviors into peak performance and lasting success.Have you ever gotten into your car after a long day at work, and even though you promised yourself you’d hit the gym, you head straight home for the couch instead?Have you ever been unable to stop hitting the Snooze button every morning (instead of the gym)?Have you ever been secretly afraid that you just don’t have what it takes to really change your body and life?Have you ever struggled so much to build a better body and life that you wondered if it’s really worth it?If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, I understand.
