Read – 5 Ways Lifting Weights Helped Me Succeed at Work from marketwatch.com.

“Sometimes you are so prepared that you finish the squat with no trouble. Other times you doubt yourself, lose your focus and in turn stop engaging your core or squeezing your back. You’re stuck at the bottom and you’ve missed the lift. Even if you’re physically strong enough to make the squat happen, building that mental resilience is what I’ve needed to be better in all aspects of life, whether it’s in the gym or at work.”
