When I take a day off from training, I don’t truly take the day off.
Having internalized the PT mindset, every single day I’m going to do pushups at the very least.
So even if I’m doing almost nothing physical that day, I’m still dropping, I’m still doing pushups as it’s habitual 365 day a year accountable to self mandatory PT.
It’s a better approach to fitness to have a simple equipment free daily PT that you refuse to miss.
You don’t need to make training into a big deal mentally.
Training motivation is inconsequential to me as I’m doing pushups.
If I go to the gym, I’m doing pushups still.
If I don’t go to the gym, I’m doing pushups, and sometimes no more than that.
If I don’t have a gym membership, I’m doing pushups, and probably in a much higher volume.
You see, I beat the “don’t have time to train/don’t want to go the gym/etc” list of excuses.
If I opt into one of them, somewhere, at sometime EVERY DAY I’ll be dropping for pushups.
No rigidity past that, and really the true true minimum is about 30 reps, for me 20 seconds.
It’s amazing to outsiders just how high paying a 20 second daily habit can be.
2½ minutes of pushup PT at the minimum weekly, puts you light years ahead of the competition.
And you don’t have to stick to minimal PT, it’s just there as the fallback when you decide to do almost nothing.
It’s amazing that many are so mentally weak that they don’t even do this.
You have 20 seconds a day! Drop during a commercial or loading screen in what is the first step, you lazy fucks!
