The Real Reason You Can't Stay Consistent (It's Not Motivation) | Mind Pump 2851

The guys break down the top 5 data-backed reasons people actually stay consistent with fitness, and why aesthetics (the most common motivation) is actually the weakest long-term motivator. They also cover why exercise outperforms antidepressants and talk therapy for depression and anxiety, a study on which professions age people's faces fastest, and an income-vs-attractiveness study showing women are 1,000x more sensitive to a man's earnings when rating attraction. Plus: Adam's Catrina gets mistaken for a much younger woman at the gym, Justin's son wins his gymnastics competition after seeing a sports psychologist, and the Push Scroll app that locks your social media behind squats and push-ups. Then it's live coaching calls with Lindsay, Sandy, Maggie, and Nikki.
