#306: Body Recomposition Mindset with Fit Vegan, Maxime Sigouin

“If it is something that you want to do for the long run, you have to do it long enough for it to be a part of your identity. Once it becomes a part of your identity, it's not about the excitement or the lack of excitement, it just is who you are. “— Maxime Sigouin
