The last thing we want to do is often the first thing we need to do. – Tim Ferriss (paraphrased)
I hate pull ups. They intimidate the hell out of me. I suck at them. I can bench over 200 pounds without flinching, yet shake in my boots when I need to do 10 pull ups. That doesn’t mean I can’t do them. That just means I hate doing them. That’s when I came up with the idea for #DontWannaWednesday.

As noted above by Ferriss, the thing that I least want to do is often what I should address first. However, it’s discouraging and not motivating to do the things we hate to do. So, how do we do them?
I have officially dedicated Wednesday’s to including pull up’s in my workout routine. I absolutely hate doing them, but I know they need to get done as they are a great bodyweight exercise. With my Boston Qualifying attempt training in full swing now, I need to include more and more bodyweight exercises to maintain my overall athlete build. I’ve coined the term #DontWannaWednesday as my motivator and reminder that, at the least, I will get the exercise(s) I should be doing done.
