About this episode

The episode discusses the reasons behind the lack of consistency in diet and exercise, emphasizing that it is not due to willpower but rather flawed planning and mindset.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to break down why most people can't stay consistent with their fitness — and it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or motivation. I walk through why the plans people try to follow are actually set up to fail them, how all-or-nothing thinking sounds like discipline but is the thing that wrecks people every time, and what it actually looks like to build a plan around your worst, busiest days instead of your best ones. We also get into accountability, self-efficacy, and why doing two workouts a week you never miss will always beat six workouts a week you quit by Wednesday.
