Yes, I think you're both saying the same thing in different ways. It's the personalized routine that makes a big difference. Like Cym says, the sense of purpose is critical. And like Steve says, the personalization is also critical.

I've found that's made a HUGE difference in the past 2 months for me. I go to the gym with a real sense of purpose, and I'm able to track my progress, which is a real source of motivation by itself.
