If you've ever struggled with your relationship with exercise this episode is for you. Exercise is tricky because it's a behavior our society supports, applauds, and highly encourages. While exercise may look positive, the root driving force may not be so. We hope this episode offers insight into the nuances behind our socially encouraged practice of working out. Unfortunately behind the shiny curtain of phrases like "you'll never regret a workout" & "I love the way exercise makes me feel" lives the less-than-shiny REAL reasons most folks feel driven to move their body: burning off calories, making up for what they ate, and manipulating their bodies to look a certain way.

In this solo episode, Engrid, a non-diet certified Strength & Conditioning Coach & personal trainer, shares her own journey with recovering from exercise compulsion as part of her eating disorder. Additionally she shares helpful practices to help stop using exercise to earn or burn off what you ate.
