Achieving fitness success is more about mindset than physical effort.

Last week, I was feeling demotivated in my fitness journey, I felt like nothing was working.

I stumbled across a video by Sahil Bloom titled “Feeling Lost? Here’s 7 Questions You Should Ask Yourself”. These questions resonated with me deeply, especially when applied to health and fitness practices.
