Find Your Why: Reigniting Strength Training When Motivation Fades

Feeling stuck under the barbell? This Strength With Purpose episode dives into how to find your why so you can train with consistency and purpose even when motivation fades, life gets messy, or the excitement of chasing PRs wears off. Nikki Sims and Andrew Jackson share how to punch the clock with minimum-viable sessions, bring variety into your training without losing progress, and lean on coaching and community to reignite purpose for the long haul. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to recognize when your training motivation has dipped—and what that really means. Practical strategies to find your why and keep training consistent. The power of "minimum-viable" workouts that hold strength and muscle through busy or stressful seasons. Why variety (hypertrophy, machines, exercise swaps) can renew purpose without derailing goals. When to talk to a coach, remove "buzzkill" lifts, and reset your program with smart structure.
