ADHD and Fitness: How Neurodivergence Shapes Your Workout Journey | Ep 64


Listen Later

Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. If you have ADHD — or suspect you do — you might’ve noticed that sticking to a fitness routine feels harder than it “should.” In this episode of Coaching Corner, we explore how ADHD affects motivation, planning, consistency, and even your emotional response to setbacks. I’ll share practical, neurodivergent-friendly strategies that can help you train smarter, not harder — including how to navigate executive dysfunction, work with dopamine-driven motivation, and avoid the all-or-nothing trap.

Whether you're new to fitness or just tired of feeling like you're "starting over" all the time, this episode is for you.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why ADHD makes fitness motivation inconsistent
  • How to work with — not against — your executive function
  • Tips to avoid burnout, shame spirals, and hyperfocus traps
  • Real strategies to build a routine that actually works for your brain

👟 Ready to finally find a fitness rhythm that fits you? Let’s talk.
