It’s easy enough to make grand claims about realllllly going to the gym in 2019, and this time, you mean it, but actually getting your ass off the couch and into gym shorts is sometimes harder than you think. It’s a commitment, and it’s fragile enough to break if you’re not prepared from the very start.
