"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." — Lao Tzu
What a powerful reminder as we pursue our fitness goals. Too often, we get discouraged by the distance between where we are now and where we want to be. The gap can feel overwhelming, leading to thoughts like, Why bother? I'll never make it.
But this quote shifts our perspective—it tells us that we don’t need to conquer the entire journey at once. All we need to do is take one step. That’s it. Just one. And once we do, we’re already in motion.
At Axis Strength Training, we emphasize this mindset in every workout. When things get tough, we remind our members: Just focus on the rep in front of you. You can do one more rep. Instead of feeling daunted by the entire workout, breaking it down into small, manageable steps makes it feel possible.
The same principle applies to any goal, whether it’s building strength, losing weight, or improving endurance. If you focus on taking just one small step today—whether it’s showing up at the gym, completing one workout, or choosing a healthy meal—you’re making progress. And after many small steps, you’ll look back and realize just how far you’ve come.
So, take that first step today. Then another. A year from now, let me know where you end up—I have a feeling it’ll be somewhere incredible.
