As we\u2019re settling into a new year, we want to give a friendly reminder that doing more is not always better. What\u2019s most important is to do what you can sustain.

During this time of year, we often set lofty goals of working out for 1-2 hours a day, 5 days a week, while following a very rigid and specific program.

This works great\u2026 until it doesn\u2019t.

When it comes to exercise, we have been led to believe that MORE is better, or even necessary.

If I want to get into shape, the answer MUST be that I simply NEED TO WORK OUT MORE.
If I want to lose weight, the obvious solution HAS to be to WORK OUT MORE.

Contrary to popular belief, in most cases, this is not true.

Here\u2019s why\u2026

When we take on the \u201cMORE IS BETTER\u201d philosophy, we aren\u2019t considering what is going to be realistic and sustainable for us in the long-term.

We go ALL IN and find ourselves in a slump just a few months (weeks?) down the road. Life caught up with us, things are getting stressful and hard, and the last thing we have mental space for is a very rigid and specific workout routine.

We feel helpless and throw our plan out the door. We have nothing to fall back on, and soon we find ourselves back to our old ways\u2026 feeling like a failure.
