In this episode, Jeremiah and Roger discuss the common challenges people face when trying to make fitness changes, especially around the New Year. They emphasize the importance of taking action now rather than waiting for the 'perfect' time, the dangers of perfectionism, and the necessity of starting small. The conversation also covers the significance of establishing a routine, reframing failure as a learning opportunity, and the essential components of a successful fitness journey, including the non-negotiable triangle of adequate stimulus, recovery, and nutrition. Ultimately, they stress the power of consistency and the importance of having a structured plan to guide one's fitness efforts.
