Kathleen Trotter Notable Quotes

“You don’t have to be great to start anything, but you do have to start to get great.”
Kathleen Trotter

“You can make yourself do the ‘best’ program for the week, but it doesn’t matter what you do for a week. It matters what you can do consistently over the long term…the benefits of the best anything are moot if you can’t actually make yourself do it.”
Kathleen Trotter

“Rather than becoming a second-rate version of somebody else, be a first-rate version of you.”
Kathleen Trotter

 

Episode Summary

When planning out a lifestyle change—be it eating healthier, making sure you’re sleeping enough, or starting to work out—the first step is always the hardest. Sometimes, this is where excuses come into play: I’m tired, or I’m not motivated, or maybe I’ll just do it tomorrow. But the thing is, we’re going to have to start it sooner or later, and sooner is better than later.

In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to fitness expert and media personality Kathleen Trotter to walk us through how we can be intentional with building out systems and creating habits that set up our future selves for success.
