Revisit Your Whys

Day 9!

Remember your whys today!

Whys that involve your relationships offer big motivational benefits. 

Who motivates you to improve your fitness? Imagine how becoming more fit, more mobile can restore or open new ways in which you may be able to interact with these important people in your life. 

When you find life’s pressure closing in and the challenge of training 5 days a week seems to much to add to your life…remember your important people.  Remember your Whys

You are important and you are worth the effort and sacrifice you’re making now. 

Hang in there!
