13 qualities to be healthy and successful in 2021:
1) Focus on process, let results take care of themselves
2) Develop routines—but don't get attached to them
3) Surround yourself wisely
4) Move your body often
5) Practice tragic optimism: accept what it is, move forward anyways

Why? People judge the value of the workout based on their effort. Sweat and work hard= good workout
Most training should be pretty comfortable, but easy doesn't sell.

It's not easy.
Stop dieting. None of them work. Ever. If they did, there wouldn't be a billion dollar diet industry.
Carbs are not evil. Fats are not evil. Proteins are not evil.
Rigid rules totally zap you and make you grumpy.
Eat whole foods.
Cut out crap.
Move your body every day.
@stevemagness Because it seems easier, faster and you can usually pay for it with money. A large number of amateur athletes just do not want to pay the real price of consistency and patience.
