As you’re taking action, and motivated..ask: Why will I continue to do this even when I don’t feel like it?  What can I put in place to be a healthy reward for continue to workout?...because if the initial thing that got me moving was a negative report from the doctor…how will I keep going once that result is “back in range”?  

This episode of Help Me Understand unpacks a simple question that comes up in fitness over and over: What actually happens after the wake-up call?

JK breaks down why those “never again” moments (the bad checkup, the rough vacation, the photo that hits you wrong) only create short-term movement if nothing structural changes underneath. He shares a client story that shows how early progress can fall apart once the initial fear fades, and why relying on emotion has a predictable shelf life.

The focus of the episode is the practical side: motivation will dip, the quick fixes lose their shine, and the only thing that carries you forward is the system you build while the motivation is still there. 

Listen in as JK lays out the mindset shift and the questions you need to be asking now so you’re not scrambling once the fire wears off.
