You may think that exercise and fitness are just about going to the gym, drinking a protein shake, and getting your reps in. However, a key component of fitness that many people miss is their mindset. On today’s show, you’re going to learn exactly how to improve your mindset to grow stronger, healthier, and happier at any age.
