1. Exhaustion

One of the most common challenges a person can experience on their fitness journey is exhaustion or fatigue. There are many causes for this, from overtraining to lack of proper rest.

2. The plateau

It's not uncommon to suddenly encounter a plateau on a weight-loss journey, according to Roger Wolfson. As people progressively lose weight, they can't expect their bodies to shed off pounds regularly. Bodies adapt, and it is up to people to change the tempo of what they do to stimulate metabolism.

3. Stress

Roger Wolfson has always believed that stress is one of the biggest threats to a person's health and fitness, and it can manifest in many ways, from binge eating to drinking, to sleepless nights. Thankfully, there are many ways to combat stress. One of Roger Wolfson's favorite ways is to go hiking in nature, appreciate the world, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
