10-Minute Guided Meditation to Boost Motivation with Andy

Motivation has a funny way of vanishing when it's time to exercise.

In this 10-minute meditation, Andy uses a mindfulness technique called Noting to guide you in recognizing wandering thoughts, letting them go, and returning to the breath. By learning to notice when the mind roams and bringing it back, you can build the focus and presence that supp
