Stop comparisons

Look at accomplishments

Realize you aren’t alone

Externalize the voices in your head. Imagine being said about a friend or visualize a workout coach screaming at you telling you aren’t good enough. You’d fire that coach!

Ask the Doc: 

“Should I be stretching or warming up before my workout?”

 Basics - Stretch between sets and after workout. Do a warm-up before.

Final Thots:

Calf Raises 2 second stretch at bottom, 1 second raise, 2 second hold at top, 2 second negative
