Feeling like a slacker? This week, Dr. Kelly Doell somehow uses a lasagna metaphor to breakdown how our beliefs about discipline may be hurting the sustainability of our fitness routines. The good news is, all it takes is the question of the week to get you back on track.

66 days... 21 days... which is it? It's hard to know exactly how long it takes to establish a healthy habit, but does the number really matter? This week, Kelly says no. Applying a coat of philosophy onto the research on habit formation, Kelly outlines how focusing on making movement mindless might just an obstacle to commitment rather than the solution.

Ruts happen. In this short episode, Kelly preaches action with a simple mental exercise to get you back in the game. All it takes is an image and a plan. What will yours be?
