We all want to feel like we're making progress with our fitness, but when the process starts to feel repetitive or boring, it's tempting to chase something new. Could that constant need for novelty actually be holding you back?
In this episode of Truth Talks, we explore why repetition is essential for progress, how shiny object syndrome can lead us to mistake excitement for results, and why the boring work often leads to the most rewarding outcomes.
