The One Mindset Shift That Makes Fitness Sustainable

If you’ve ever fallen off the wagon after a “bad weekend,” missed a week of workouts, or eaten one cookie and said “screw it”—you’re not alone.

Here’s the shift that changes everything:

👉 Stop aiming for perfection. Start aiming for momentum.

What does this look like?

• Missed a workout? Cool. Get the next one in.

• Ate off plan? No guilt. Just get back on track at your next meal.

• Feeling off today? Do what you can. Some effort > no effort.

Consistency isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up when it’s hard, not just when it’s easy.

Progress is built on imperfect days done well.

Did You Know?: The Vitamin Deficiency That Can Slow Your Metabolism

Low energy, brain fog, stubborn fat? You might be missing Vitamin D.

Here’s why D3 matters:

• Regulates hormones like testosterone

• Supports metabolic function and fat burning

• Boosts mood and mental focus

• Crucial for immune and joint health

Many men over 40 are deficient—especially if you work indoors or live in northern climates.

Fix it:

• Get 15–30 minutes of sunlight daily (arms and face exposed)

• Supplement with 2,000–5,000 IU/day of Vitamin D3 (with meals for better absorption)

• Pair with K2 to improve utilization

Sometimes, a little sunshine is more powerful than another supplement stack.

Question from Our Readers:

"Is it better to work out in the morning or evening?"

– Derrick, 46, from Las Vegas, NV

The best time to work out is the time you’ll actually stick to. That said:

Morning Training:

• Boosts focus and energy for the day

• Fewer distractions = higher consistency

• Helps control cravings and hunger signals

Evening Training:

• Muscles are warmer, joints looser = possibly better performance

• Great for stress relief after work

• May impact sleep if too close to bedtime

Bottom line: Choose the time that fits your lifestyle and allows you to train hard, recover well, and stay consistent.
