Are you someone who believes that in order to workout you need to sweat within an inch of your life?! 

That you need to workout for 45 minutes or more in order for it to count?

As life became progressively more stressful, or just plain blessed and busy, did the idea of a sweaty 45 minute workout make you cringe? You slowly avoided these workouts and now you are barely working out at all and feeling lost in your fitness goals or just forgot about them all together?

In a very frenetic time of life trying to workout like we used to or the way we see others exercising may not be sustainable, or desirable. In fact, the workouts we think we need to do may not meet your goals in this very moment.

But what is this moment? What does it look like? And how do we get from point A to B if we are only reflecting on past failures, what we think working out looks like, or allowing our stressors to hold us back? 

Based off a recent client and listener question we dive into these questions today. We delve deeper into the “Mind-set matters: exercise and the placebo effect” study conducted by Alia J. Crum and Ellen J. Langer mentioned in Episode 18 with High Performance Coach, Michael Crandall.

This study serves the purpose of providing scientific context to the theory, if we change our perspective on what exercise looks like we will ultimately become more active and this activity offsets other healthy lifestyle factors. 

I believe you’ll listen in to this episode and feel encouraged to add a little flavor into your every day activities. Did someone say Tango-Vacuum?!

Build joyful movement into your day-to-day to feel your best!
