REVGYM WEEK OF 05.20.24

REVGYM!

Great push last week!

AND…

Do not, in any endeavor, simply “check the box”.

100% of you is required.

In everything you put your heart and hands on.

How do we do that?

We show up for ourselves at that 100% a day.

Get in here.

Put in the work.

Make it a daily habit.

Hold yourself accountable for the man or woman you want to become!

DO NOT SIMPLY “CHECK THE BOX”!

OWN THE FUCKING BOX!!!

BREAK THE FUCKING BOX!!!

Then….

Do it with every damn box they try to put you in!

All performed well!
