@dailyrepsguy 230 days of seeing if I can get jacked in under 20 minutes a day. We have all used the excuse that we “don’t have time” to work out or for the things that we know that we should do. It’s time we stop lying to ourselves. No more delay. Do the work now. Today. I’m cheering for you. 20 minute at home workouts can move the needle when done consistently. #homeworkout #pushupchallenge #jumpsquats #absworkout #pullups

Best tier, here's the breakdown of today's workout for you. I love both of us enough to hold us accountable. To worst on our crap. At one point or another, I think we've all been guilty, myself included, of saying, I don't have time. Bull. You know how much time I spend scrolling and doing things that don't serve me? I have time. And if we're being honest, we all have the same twenty four hours in the day. So today's maybe a little bit more tough love, but let me give you a challenge. Today, you've been watching my videos, you've been waiting, you've been saving workouts for later. Well, later has arrived. And you don't need to do anything crazy. Just start the timer and move your body. If you don't know what to do, copy one of my videos or get my PDF in my bio. It's free for goodness sake. Worse choose your own price, but you can choose tier. But just do it. As always, I appreciate you being here. So rank you. God bless. Have a good one. See you.
