If you work out RIGHT, you can work out LESS👇🏽
You have a full life. Your days are busy and long. You’re craving
time to do whatever you want, free of “shoulds”, free of pressure
and without worrying about how much you’ll beat yourself up over
allowing yourself to simply exist for one freakin’ second without
cramming every. single. thing. that needs to get done into your
day.
You’re not lazy. In fact, you’re the opposite. You’re so NOT lazy
that you’re overworked, stressed, tired- and on the verge of
burnout from trying to keep it together all the time- keeping the
plates spinning on their sticks.
MARGIN (my definition): room to exist. To play. To decompress.
Wiggle room. The nap gap (TM- I’m gonna trade mark that!)
There was a time I didn’t understand how to “do it all” without
“doing more.” My work ethic made me feel like if I had any margin I
wasn’t working hard enough. Then I realized I wanted some wiggle
room and a freakin’ nap gap. And I wanted to find it without losing
progress or babying myself.
I was spending 20+ hours a week working out. Equivalent to a part
time job with nothing to show for it but wasted time, fatigue, and
maybe 1 ounce of extra muscle than I have now...? Looking back, it
feels so silly. And it was.
So I explored what I could get away with. How much do I REALLY have
to do to gain/maintain my strength and fitness? And who the hell am
I with margin in my life if I’m “only” working out 4-5 hours per
week?
Turns out, if you’re working out RIGHT, you can actually workout
LESS. And it’ll cost you absolutely nothing, yet it’ll grant you
margin. Margin to to do whatever you want, without having to
negotiate or bargain or sacrifice a single thing. No brainer,
right?
It can feel scary to have extra time. But if you could do what you
want to do and feel how you want to feel AND have wiggle room, play
room, and a nap gap- wouldn’t you do it? If you could spend less
time and make more progress, wouldn’t you do it?
