From Anxiety to Ice Baths
Man, I used to buy all that fitness hype—HIIT classes blasting my eardrums, chugging protein shakes that tasted like chalk, obsessively logging every squat in some app. And, honestly?

I never thought I’d be the kind of person who willingly signed up for 75 days of no excuses.
