I’d challenge you to stretch your mental

strength isn’t rocket science.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
