#01: Monday Motivation: Are you stuck?

Arnold's Pump Club
About this episode

What happens when all the motivation in the world won't do anything? It's something Arnold hears all the time. It's not that people don't want to change; it's that the ability to get started -- sometimes, literally getting out of bed -- can feel like a challenge. If you're stuck or have moments where you feel like you're not making the most of your days, this episode is for you. Arnold shares his advice for overcoming those barriers, the main takeaways from a study about overcoming morning grogginess,  and the workout of the week.
