Be Present and have Purpose Hard thing to overcome is INERTIA: an object at rest will remain at rest until influenced by a force. Basic strategy to decrease inertia is to just move, make it fun, interesting, and challenging. Most people are not engaged and thinking about something else. When you’re engaged, then you’re ready to train. You must demand that you’re present and paying attention to the movement.

Passion and Pride Are you excited about what you are doing and do you take personal responsibility in daily efforts?
