Has exercise become the new competitive sport? In this episode, I reflect on what has really happened to training over the past few years – from going to the gym simply to feel good, to suddenly having times, results, rankings and competitions to train for.
But is it all positive? What happens when we start measuring and competing in almost everything we do – and do we risk becoming just as obsessed with our performance as we once were with our weight and appearance?
From “What do I look like?” to “What can I do?” – perhaps that really is a positive change.
