While we would all love progress to be a linear trajectory from the moment we start working out until the moment we stop, the truth is that progress is anything but linear. In fact, there are three distinct stages of progress that, if you don\u2019t realize it, can completely stop you from achieving the goals you are after with your workouts. However, once you know what these stages are, you can better understand how to navigate each stage and see more clearly when you need to push hard and when you need to back off or change direction. On this week\u2019s episode of the Exercise Is Health\u00ae podcast, we are exploring these three distinct stages of progress and laying out what you need to know as you go through each to successfully reach your goals. If you feel stuck with your workouts or believe that what you are doing isn\u2019t working, listen up! You may be getting caught in one of these three stages and metaphorically turning left when you should turn right. This conversation will teach you exactly what you need to do to keep moving forward.
