Well, Iโll let you be the judgeโฆ.
I recently read a quote from Thomas Paine that says
โ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฝ, ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐น๐.โ
He was referring to the โwantโ of a sovereign nation & fighting to be free of the Crown.
But I think what Paine says is a great reminder when thinking about the value we place on our health & fitness routine.
There are a lot of people who seek the cheapest pathโฆ.
- โช๏ธFree exercise videos
- โช๏ธGyms that cost $10 – $49/month
- โช๏ธFitness classes for $10/class
You get the gist.
Iโve had tons of folks reach out to inquire about services at Lucky13 & their 1st, last, and sometimes ONLY question boils down to โhow much is it?โ before they even know what โitโ is!!
But letโs apply what Paine says- if we can get these things that cheaply, we donโt place much ๐ซ๐๐ก๐ช๐ on them.
In other words, if the buy-in is too low, the risk of quitting or not seeing it through becomes really highโฆ.we can much more easily let things slide with the justification that they didnโt cost much in the first place.
I bet you know someone who had a gym membership that they paid for but didnโt use much.
Maybe YOU have even done that.
Iโll place a huge bet that it wasnโt a $200+/month gym membershipโฆ.it was much more likely to be under $99/mo.
On the other hand, when we actually have to put a little skin in the game and INVEST in a health & fitness program or service, we place ๐ข๐ช๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ก๐ช๐ in it.
Hence, we take it more seriously. We show up. We follow through.
So, when youโre considering a health & fitness program or service, remember that cheaper isnโt always betterโฆ.Instead, consider that an option with a bit higher price can actually be an accountability tool for you.
