Welcome to Motivation Monday, where every Monday we answer all of your questions and have some real talks about life & fitness & get you fired up for the week! In this episode we talk about the secret to upping your weights faster, dealing with gym anxiety and how to get motivated to workout. 

(1:50) - Question 1- I’m having a hard time feeling motivated to up my weights because I am at a point where I am lifting heavy and the weights I am already using feel hard. Any advice here?
(11:00) - Josh quote: “If you want it bad enough, you find a way. If you don’t want it bad enough, you find an excuse.” - Greg Plit
(14:35) - Kyle quote: “If you have an opportunity, why would you only give 80%? Why wouldn’t you always give 120%?”
What has us excited or intrigued:

(22:58) Question 2- How to deal with gym anxiety? I don’t like going to the center or the gym or using the popular machines because I am newer to my fitness journey. Any tips?
(29:50)- Question 3- How do you get motivated to go to the gym when it feels like the last thing you wanna do?

Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.
