Ever notice how you can be all in on your workouts… and then suddenly you’re not?
No big reason, you just stop. And a few weeks later, you’re starting over again.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Jordan Metzl to break down what’s actually going on.
We talk about why so many adults lose their motivation for movement, what’s really happening psychologically when you fall off, and how motivation is built from three things:
I should do this.
I want to do this.
I can do this.

Miss one? You’re stuck in that start-stop cycle. We also get into how to fall back in love with movement, the concept of inflammaging, and the minimum effective dose of exercise that actually moves the needle, especially if you’re starting from zero. And if you want to stay strong, mobile, and independent long-term,we cover the non-negotiables.

Let’s get into it.
