What is your story when it comes to exercise? Maybe you can trace it back to middle school PE class and feeling stress and embarrassment when you couldn't keep up. Or maybe the stress with exercise came later in life for you because you couldn't keep the weight off. Most likely you have experienced some level of exercise trauma and have a negative story attached to working out that fills your thoughts. In this week's episode, Certified Personal Trainer and Exercise Recovery Specialist, Shannon Hennig shares her personal story and how she now helps women work through their own negative stories with exercise and begin moving their body in an intuitive and enjoyable way again!
