Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown

349: The Power of Binary Actions in Achieving Fitness Goals


Listen Later

In this episode of the Real Life Runners podcast, we discussed the importance of binary actions in achieving various life intentions. We emphasized the need for clarity in stating intentions and then identifying and implementing binary actions that align with those intentions to ensure results. This approach can be applied across different aspects of life, including workouts, personal goals, nutrition, strength training, and overall health. We stress the importance of setting realistic goals and gradually building consistency through success, avoiding being overwhelmed by overcomplication. By answering 'did I do it?' questions with a 'yes or no', runners or anyone can experience progress and success.
