Wanting to be fit and talking yourself out of a workout can very easily coexist since the hardest part of a workout is usually the part where you decide to do it.

Amanda and Christin get into why procrastinating a workout is almost never a discipline issues. It's usually a friction, expectations, or decision-making issue. They talk about why the couch always wins in the moment, why "if I can't do the whole session I might as well skip it" keeps you stuck, and why the goal isn't to make yourself want to work out. It's to stop making the workout depend on wanting to.

Plus how to stop renegotiating a decision you already made, why "I'll work out sometime Tuesday" is a setup, and how becoming the kind of person who trains beats waiting to feel motivated.
