I’ll be honest with you.
Some days I don’t want to train.
I know that might sound funny coming from a guy who’s been doing this for most of his life.
But some mornings I’m tired, my brain is going a hundred miles an hour, and the last thing I feel like doing is picking up a kettlebell.
But here’s the thing. I can’t tell you how much better I feel after I train. Every single time. I’ve rarely finished a workout and thought, “I wish I hadn’t done that.”
Because for me, training is part of my self care. It’s maintenance for my own mental health and my sobriety.
And it doesn’t have to be complex. Many days, it’s just simple stuff like this:
#
“1-2-3-4” KB Complex
Do 5 rounds per side:
1 clean +
2 rack squats +
3 presses +
4 one-arm swings
#
Short, simple, and you walk away feeling like a different person than when you started.
And that’s exactly why I built the Sober Warrior Challenge the way I did.
This is a simple, no-guilt 30-day challenge to see what life feels like without alcohol, while keeping your training on point and your schedule sane.
The workouts are built just like today’s.
But it’s not just the workouts.
When you join, you also get:
– Simple nutrition guidance
– Mobility work
– A CBT-based guide to help with the mental side of going alcohol free
– A private community of people doing this right alongside you
– And so much more
We start October 1, so now’s the time to grab your spot.
