Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.
But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.
But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.
