I committed to working out every single day for 60 days straight. Here's the honest truth about what happened - including the day I completely failed.
My rules were simple: run 1 mile, hit my group workout class, or do 75 burpees. No negotiations, no excuses. But around day 51, I started having some serious conversations with myself... and day 55 was even worse. This isn't about being a super athlete or having crazy motivation (because I'm definitely not and I don't). This is about getting unstuck when you're in that winter slug mode, sitting at your desk too much, feeling like a couch potato. What you'll learn: Why making it "non-negotiable" actually works The power of working out with other people (even doing burpees at the airport!) What to do when you inevitably mess up How daily exercise creates unstoppable momentum My biggest mistake: the dangerous negotiation game your brain plays I'll share the brutal honest moments - like day 51 when I was negotiating with myself, the challenges of staying on track during a family trip, struggles with jet lag, and yes, the day I completely blew it on day 55. The bottom line: This 60-day challenge didn't just change how I feel physically - it gave me something priceless: momentum. And momentum gets you unstuck. If you're feeling stuck, this could work for you too. It doesn't have to be workouts - it could be walks, getting off the couch, or even just doing your dishes. The key is commitment without negotiation. 0:00 - The Challenge: 60 Days, No Excuses 0:45 - Days 31-34: Back on Track 1:27 - Breaking Out of Winter Slug Mode 1:52 - Travel Challenge #1 2:18 - Game Changer: Working Out with Others 2:44 - Day 39: The Voice Telling Me to Quit 3:11 - Day 41: It's Getting Easier 3:35 - Travel Challenge #2 4:26 - Running with Family in Beautiful Cities 4:57 - Airport Burpees (Yes, Really) 5:17 - The Negotiation Trap 5:56 - Day 51: Serious Self-Negotiation 6:27 - Day 55: Complete Failure 7:32 - What to Do When You Screw Up 8:02 - The Voice That Says "Who's Gonna Know?" 8:20 - Day 60: Mission Accomplished 8:27 - What I Learned: The Power of Momentum 9:05 - 4 Key Strategies That Actually Work 9:57 - Final Thoughts: Getting Unstuck Comments are closed.
