I Hated Part of My Own Program.. And I Did It Anyway

I Hated Part of My Own Program — And I Did It Anyway On consistency, the meditation cushion, a 40-day sadhana, and why showing up matters more than feeling like it. Trainers aren't supposed to say this — but Andrea hated the last three weeks of her own Seasonal Strength spring program. In this episode she gets honest about what it really means to do hard things, why she decided to run her own programming, and what jump squats taught her about the nature of commitment. She also draws a parallel that might surprise you: the same resistance we feel toward a tough workout is the same resistance we feel toward sitting down to meditate. And what happens when we push through both — even imperfectly, even reluctantly — is where the real practice lives.
