Early morning gym, empty except for one lifter

If training depends on how you feel at 6 pm, it will lose to traffic, dinner and tiredness.

Decide once

Put sessions in the calendar like meetings. Same days, same times, every week.

  1. Pack the bag the night before.
  2. Lay out shoes by the door.
