What I see, year after year, is that most people aren’t failing at fitness - they’re trying to build it in a way that doesn’t match real life. Consistency isn’t something you have or don’t have. It’s something you practise. So instead of promising yourself a complete overhaul, consider a slightly different January intention.

You’ve planned your workout, your weights are ready… and you’d rather do anything else.
It’s not laziness. It’s being human.

Motivation isn’t constant. It ebbs and flows with sleep, stress, hormones, and life itself.
The trick isn’t forcing yourself to be motivated, it’s knowing how to keep going when you’re not.
