Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.

Today I want to talk about fruit.

No, not the berries I eat with my granola and yogurt.

I want to focus on the problem or reaching for low-hanging fruit. I'm sure most of you have heard

the metaphor, but just so we are all on the same page. Low-hanging fruit is the easy stuff if you imagine an apple tree the low hanging

fruit the apples on the bottom branches you could ask a child to pick the low hanging fruit, but it's the fruit that's higher up in the tree, takes more effort.

Maybe you'll need to climb and put yourself at risk.

There might be discomfort,

but there's something about that challenge

that makes it feel so fantastic

when you get that high-hanging fruit because you know it

requires more effort. The effort makes the reward sweeter. It is more

fulfilling. When I talk to people about fitness,

I find that many never go beyond the low-hanging fruit.

They want to be fit and healthy to be easy and comfortable.

They want the 28-day abs, not the 90-day program that forces them to do the basic

lifts. They want the fat diet, not the lifestyle change. They want the fat loss of testosterone boosting magic pill, not the effort

of eating well, sleeping well, training hard and moving more.

I'll be honest.

I don't even think we should count these things as low-hanging fruit.

Low-hanging fruit at least has value.

These things are the spoiled fruit that's fallen off
