  • Consistency Wins in Health & Fitness

    19/10/2021 Duração: 12min

    I learnt this lesson a number of years ago - things aren’t always going to be perfect, and there is never going to be the perfect time. There will always be ‘stuff’ that gets in the way; life, stress, injuries, work, kids etc. One of the great skills is learning how to remain consistent with whatever goals or habits you’ve created, even when things get tough.
