Motivation Nation

We all know that motivation is the key to getting things done. We know that with a good playlist or with someone who challenges us, we can accomplish so much.

So much… but not enough.

Discipline is what makes the difference.

As a senior in high school, a normal week for me was to wake up at 4:52 (I liked weird numbers), go to practice at 5:30, go to school at 7:30, go back to practice at 3:30, have dinner, do homework, repeat. Other days it was school, practice, lift, teach kids how to swim, homework, dinner, repeat.

It wasn’t motivation that got me through that. It was discipline. It was commitment. It was sometimes telling yourself that you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable, putting your brain on silent, and going. Getting out of your comfortable and cozy bed at 4:52 to get in a cold pool before a full day of hard work isn’t easy, and could not be done with motivation alone.

Here at Jump Rope Now, we won’t promise results the easy way. You gotta put in the work. If you cheat it, it cheats you.

I hope that motivates you! ; )
