So everyone got a taste of working out in cold weather on Monday…. It was only 30 degrees, but it was still much colder than it’s been for several months and probably the coldest day for many of you. As the weather starts to turn and it gets colder and colder in the mornings, we are likely going to see our numbers start to decline. I get it… the cold weather isn’t for everyone and it certainly makes it tougher to get out of bed. But it’s just a minor setback that can be overcome by being strong mentally. Its up to us to motivate our brothers and keep them accountable to keep coming out in the gloom.
“In life we can have results or reasons. If you are not getting the results you want, your reasons are the lies that you keep telling yourself.” – Harald Anderson
The pending cold weather is just a reason to not work out. Don’t let that reason keep you from getting out each morning. Go buy some cheap sweatshirts and sweatpants… get some gloves, a hat and warm socks. Start getting yourself mentally ready now to push through these winter months. What we have out here is special and we certainly don’t want anyone missing out simply because it’s a little cold outside. Keep yourself accountable, keep your brothers accountable and let’s keep getting stronger together.
“Accountability is the glue that bonds commitment to results.” – Will Craig
