Discipline is a buzzword in the fitness world... and the skill you need in order to actually reach your goals.In this episode, I'm giving you 3 ways to look at discipline differently, and some actionable tips to get better at practicing it in your life.Enjoy!Xoxo,MaurineLove this episode?Share it your Instagram story!  Want to connect?Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/fitness__unicorn/Learn about Unicorn Nation:https://www.unicorn-nation.com/

In this episode I sit down with Rose, who spent years telling herself "I'm just not a gym girly." After developing arthritis in her twenties, she knew she wanted to stay active, but the gym never felt like her world, and even once she started showing up she went two and a half years without seeing real progress — stuck in a knowledge deficit, handed unrealistic meal plans, and told the way she liked to eat simply wouldn't work. In this chat, Rose shares how everything finally clicked: falling in love with barbells, easing into calorie tracking one meal at a time instead of overhauling everything overnight, upgrading her traditional and plant-based meals with more protein, and staying consistent through shift work and a full-time study season by planning her weeks instead of chasing the "perfect" routine. We talk about ditching all-or-nothing thinking, hitting a bench press PB, managing her arthritis pain through strength, and the identity shift that changed everything — from "not a gym person" to "I'm a total gym girly and I own it." If you've ever thought the gym just isn't for you, this one's proof that it's never too late to rewrite that story.Enjoy! Xoxo,MaurineLove this episode?Share it your Instagram story!  Want to connect?Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/fitness__unicorn/Learn about Unicorn Nation:https://www.unicorn-nation.com/
