Get Comfortable with being UNCOMFORTABLE!

You are all embarking on this journey, some for reasons you may share but also for different reasons. It's time to start a new and it's time to break out of your comfort zone. So I suggest get used to being uncomfortable during your workouts. No I'm not meaning uncomfortable as in painful. I mean it in the sense that you need to be doing some exercises that you aren't used to rather than the ones you do on a regular basis. It's time to shake things up and break that gym comfort level we all love so much. We are here to make progress so therefore its time to try some new things.

For example:

Instead of doing a regular squat, add a cardio element by doing jump squats. Instead of doing regular push ups for 3 sets, do 1 set of incline push ups, 1 set of decline push ups and 1 set of regular push ups.

Simple tweaks and changes to the exercises you ALWAYS do can make all the difference in the world.
