Competitions, Injuries, and Recognizing Progress: Our Biggest Fitness Lessons


Listen Later

In this episode, Alex and Meredith deep dive into some of their biggest fitness lessons they’ve learned over the years. They will talk about the importance of understanding the difference between performance progress and simply just aesthetic changes, how comparison doesn’t necessarily have to be negative, and that hard work might not pay off in the way that you expect it to. They also discuss the impact of consistent effort, the need for a growth mindset, and the importance of proper nutrition and recovery. Whether you are prepping for a competition or just working on incorporating more movement into your daily life, Alex and Meredith stress the importance of being kind and having patience with yourself as you continue on your fitness journey.
