Exercise following a brain injury can be challenging, particularly if we’re comparing our performance to our pre-injury capabilities. Our guest today is the author of the tbi.fitness Instagram account, and, after having sustained a TBI in 2008, she has learned to recognize her triggers and has found an exercise regime that works for her.

In this episode, we learn about the strategies that have helped to ease her symptoms, and one of her most helpful in-the-moment brain hacks involving a Bluetooth headset! She shares her approach to working out from planning and keeping it simple, to having someone around to hold her accountable.
