Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- On my flattest days the idea of a real workout is so far out of reach it’s almost laughable
- The low mood has settled in and stayed, and I’m looking for something that actually shifts the underlying weight of it over time
- I go all-out for two intense weeks, judge the whole thing by whether I hit a personal best, then burn out and quit entirely
- My anxiety hums constantly and my mood’s been low, and sitting-still meditation just leaves me alone with the spinning while hard workouts feel like too much
- The low mood has me convinced I’m weak and incapable, and I need something that gives me hard proof otherwise
