Stop doing exercises you absolutely hate

Confession time: I absolutely despise barbell squats.
There, I said it. 

But you know what? I love Smith machine squats - and that little swap has made me so much more excited to train!

And that’s exactly what I want you to take from today’s blog post:

Progress Comes From Passion
You’ll make so much more progress when you’re having fun.
When you enjoy what you’re doing, you push harder, stay consistent, and see better results. Simple.

There’s Always an Alternative
The fitness world is your playground! You don’t have to stick to one “right” way of training.
If an exercise doesn’t click, swap it for something that does. (And if you’re one of my CC babes, you already know I’ve got a list of alternatives ready for you...)

Your Fitness Journey ≠ Someone Else’s
You don’t need to copy influencers, trends, or the girl in the next squat rack.
Your journey is unique to you - what works, what you enjoy, what makes you feel strong.

Bottom line:
If you dread your workouts, it’s not a motivation problem - it’s a method problem.

Find movements that you actually look forward to doing, and suddenly training stops being a chore and starts feeling like your therapy.
