Step 2: Remember
Don't start a plan you downloaded from a website for Olympic athletes if you know that's not your level.

Write your own plan.
You want to join the Green Berets? Then that's the goal you're pushing for, and that's the last step.

So, to do those 5, make a plan to do 20 over the course of the day.
