“I Don’t Like Working Out” – Why That’s a Weak Excuse (And How to Fix It)

Scott Friedman hosts The Power of Progress: Mindset, Motion, & Momentum, a podcast built on the idea that lasting change happens at the intersection of physical action and mental resilience. It’s for those familiar with the cycle of starting strong, losing steam, and having to begin again, especially in their health and personal goals. This isn't about another rigid program or a secret hack; it's about understanding the deeper patterns that derail us. Conversations here explore how to cultivate a durable fitness mindset that goes beyond willpower, how to recognize and quiet the inner critic that leads to self-sabotage, and how to create sustainable momentum where small, consistent actions compound. You'll hear practical strategies for moving through overwhelm and information paralysis, shifting focus from quick fixes to meaningful progress. By weaving together themes from fitness, psychology, and culture, each episode aims to provide a relatable and grounded perspective on building a more consistent and integrated life. Tune in for honest discussions that help bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, making progress feel less like a battle and more like a natural part of your journey.
