Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

#153: The 10k Steps Per Day Myth (And How to Overcome Your Block Against Exercise)


Listen Later

Do you find yourself in an on again, off again relationship with exercise, like it’s a bad boyfriend that you want to like, but just aren’t able to commit to long-term? You’re not alone!

 

In this episode, we’re going to dig into the blocks you might be experiencing with exercise. Whether you enjoy working out, but you just can’t seem to stick with a routine, or you hate working out and can’t fathom ever finding it fun or enjoyable.

 

Our relationship with exercise tends to be complicated, just like our relationship with food. And these two topics are often closely intertwined as well, because diet culture has taught us to pair “diet and exercise” together as if they are peanut butter and jelly.

 

Let’s break down the reasons you have a block against exercise, as well as how to overcome these blocks so that you can learn how to move your body in ways that work for you at this phase of your life. 

 

Episode Highlights:

 

- Create your exercise timeline, to gain clarity on what exactly is blocking you with exercise, and what types of movement you might actually learn to enjoy long-term

 

- Identify your WHY when it comes to exercise (and no, it isn’t going to be based on calories or weight)

 

- Shake things up and work through discomfort - discover how!
