Daily blog (audio): “Go hard or go home” [Why?]

<p>“Go hard or go home” [Why?]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>I’ve mentioned before that most ‘motivational quotes’ you see………</p> <p>Often have the opposite effect to the desired one.</p> <p>They’re often written up on gym walls.</p> <p>“Go hard or go home” is one I’ve seen many times over the years.</p> <p>Sounds good, on the face of it.</p> <p>But, let’s face it……..</p> <p>How often do most of us feel like giving it everything in our workout after a hard day’s work?</p> <p>Or when we’ve only just got up?</p> <p>If I genuinely had to choose between giving it my all in a workout…….</p> <p>Or going home……..</p> <p>I’d probably have gone home most days.</p> <p>It’s that whole “all or nothing” mentality that often underpins our struggles.</p> <p>“I want to be able to give it 100%”………</p> <p>When that’d never happened for a sustained period of time before.</p> <p>I completely get wanting to make it worthwhile………</p> <p>And I know “Give it as much as you realistically can under the circumstances” doesn’t sound as ‘sexy’.</p> <p>But we’re all about approaching things in the way that actually sets you up for the most progress long term.</p> <p>Maybe “Just turn up”.</p> <p>Schedule your workout.</p> <p>Start it.</p> <p>See what happens from there.</p> <p>That’s all I’ve ever done.</p> <p>And I’d be willing to bet most people would get more from that than “Go hard or go home” and the like!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘is where the heart is’ Hall</p>
