I don't care if everyone else is in the wrong training. You are in this training. As long as you keep your head and make wise decisions, you're not alone.

If you're reading in this article, you might be somewhere between training and peak performance in your physical activity. Regardless of your current activity level, you're either in one of the four-phase programs—training, strength, hypertrophy, or sport—or you're on the side of the continuum between those two extremes, somewhere between training and sport.

That means you're one of the many hundreds of millions of people who are working a day job while trying to find a way to get more exercise into their lives. You don't have to be one of those people. We're all busy people, so don't beat yourself up if you don't have time to work out. And you don't have to buy the article, either. There's one thing you do need to keep in mind when reading this article. You can probably get more out of it if you make it very easy on yourself. Many people feel the need to make changes in their lives in order to make them "healthier." But a big part of what it means to be "healthy" is to be exercising and taking care of yourself in all aspects of life—including the area of exercise. And we do mean all aspects. This means getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, not sitting all day, and taking it easy when you're working out.

Most of the time, getting bigger, stronger, fitter, and more fit isn't that difficult, as you'll soon see with the programs we'll cover. But we'll never make the changes in exercise for the sake of being bigger, stronger, fitter, and more fit if we don't also make changes in our mental approach to training. The mental challenge can be equally as important as the physical challenge during your training. You need to think smart and make smart decisions when it comes to your exercise training, just like you do when deciding which jump rope you are going use.
