In this episode, Anthony breaks down the training habits that actually support long term performance when motivation fades and life gets busy. Instead of focusing on fragile routines like perfect sleep or meal prep, this conversation centers on the habits that survive stress, chaos, and real world responsibilities. You will learn how everyday athletes, fit dads, and busy professionals can stay strong, conditioned, and confident without making training their whole life.
