Three Takeaways from this episode!
- Turn your frustration into a strength! Ann was completely frustrated when she was on the floor of her basement crying because she couldn’t do a pushup. She put in the work, and was recently featured in Oxygen Magazine! If Ann had given up because she was frustrated, she never would have made it into a fitness magazine!
- Just because something comes easy to you know doesn’t mean it always will, so give yourself grace. Ann talked about being athletic throughout her life, but after she had children it became harder for her. Know that life will be hard, there will be roller-coaster moments, but push through the tough times anyway! Most importantly stop beating yourself because life got in the way and changed things!
- Have a philosophy of being consistent and persistent over a long period of time. Be like the Chinese Bamboo Bamboo tree that Ann talks about, which takes 5 years to see any growth. Meanwhile, you have to tend to that tree (i.e. water, fertile soil, and sunshine) for those five years. In the fifth year, the tree grows 80 feet in six weeks.
