218. What Decades of Overexercising Taught Me About Rest


Listen Later

" My coach said even though you're running a lot, it still doesn't grant you the right to eat whatever you want..."

If you've ever felt guilt when resting, struggled to motivate yourself to move, or felt stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset with exercise, this episode is for you!

In this episode I'm sharing my personal journey with exercise in hopes to help you reflect on your own so you can walk away with clear ideas to transform your relationship with movement for the better.

I'm covering everything from how exercise first became a way to control my body, to how that evolved over the years, and what ultimately helped me shift towards freedom, joy, and body attunement.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The role unhelpful comments played in my relationship with exercise
  • Why unsaid pressures to look a certain way drove my worst habits
  • How hustle culture and diet culture fueled my overexercising
  • The science behind why overexercising can be such a hard habit to quit
  • PLUS the small but meaningful signs of progress I experienced along the way

There were so many points in my journey where I thought everything I was doing was healthy. I thought I was doing the right things but looking back now I can see clear signs that I was struggling. My hope is that this episode will help you reflect on your relationship with exercise and connect the dots to identify what shifts you need to make to create a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with exercise.

Thanks for being here! Let me know what takeaways you have from this episode over on Instagram @diet.culture.rebel
