I have a slight obsession with a trainer I follow on Facebook and Instagram. I’ve been following Cori Lefkowith of REDEFINING STRENGTH  for years, enjoying her motivational posts and loving her targeted exercises for my troublesome injuries.  She has great rehab advice that I have tried and tested on my numerous Ortho injuries. She has helped me when many PT’s couldn’t  even crack the mystery.      She posted something a few weeks ago that blew my mind: “Most people fail because of how they try to achieve their goals.”  She went on to write that the date at which most people completely quit on their New Year’s Resolutions...is…..?? It’s not the Summer...Or a specific holiday or event… It’s not  the middle of February which was my guess. It’s JANUARY 19th!  (This date is based on a study done of over 800 million people’s activities in 2019)  Which led me to thinking and asking WHY do people quit so early? What are the stumbling blocks that cause us to give up? How can physicians and other healthcare experts help motivate their patients or themselves even….to realize their fitness and weight loss goals? Cori oozes with energy and positivity and encouragement. She will tell you, you are NEVER too old, too big, too injured  ( insert your excuse) to not achieve your fitness goals! She’s passionate about what she does and has a massive following on FB and IG to show it. Today we brush the surface on common stumbling blocks like how to stay committed to your workout routine.  What causes people to burnout or quit? How to get over the motivation hump and what tricks/tips help people stay consistent.  And then there’s the four letter D word!!!! Cori’s Bio: Cori Lefkowith is the owner of Redefining Strength.
