#22: The Shocking Cost of Motivation

Arnold's Pump Club
About this episode

Going to the gym is a struggle for many people. But, how much money do you think it would take for someone to start working out consistently? A new study examined the question, and the results are worth a conversation (and will leave you shocked by the number). Arnold will also discuss new research that shows a positive mindset is even more powerful than you think. And, if you love running, you'll learn about a study that shows how to improve running economy and overall performance.
