For many people, fitness is something that comes and goes throughout their lives. — one that often goes like this: They get so angry and frustrated with themselves that they create this huge list of things they want to change in their lives and go full throttle for a few days until their battery runs out from trying so hard to become someone wildly different from themselves. Who are they now? And they crash and burn, then they abandon it all until… they get so angry and frustrated with themselves that they start the all-or-nothing cycle all over again.
