But within a few months, many people feel like they\u2019re starting over again. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why people quit their fitness goals, this episode is for you. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson break down the real reasons motivation fades and why extreme goal-setting often leads to burnout instead of long-term progress. They explore the common cycle of starting strong, losing momentum, and restarting over and over \u2014 and how to finally break that pattern.
