I did not get much from the workout section of the book since everyone’s physical capacity is different and there is no one size fits plan. I really like the motivational and the psychology part of the book.
“Embed that long-term goal in your mind. Burn it into your soul. THINK about it, WRITE about it, TALK about it, HANG it up on your wall. But most important: do something about it. Every day.

Because that goal isn’t going to achieve itself.”

And a day turns into a week and a week into a year.
And you look up in six weeks or six months or six years…
AND you’ve made no progress:
