Embrace lousy days. I__e learned to remind myself easy days are part of the deal, and a great day is just around the corner.

Make yourself a slave to good habits

As we__e bombarded daily with new ads for pills, diets and ab-doers, we have to protect our wallets and our time.

In a group of five workouts, I tend to have one great workout, the kind of workout that makes me think in just a few weeks I could be an Olympic champion, plus maybe Mr. Olympia. Then, I have one workout that__ so awful the mere fact I continue to exist as a somewhat higher form of_ life is a miracle. Finally, the other three workouts are the punch-the-clock workouts: I go in, work out, and walk out. Most people experience this.
