Why Exercise Makes You Feel Worse (Not Better)


Listen Later

Why does exercise make some women feel worse instead of better?

If workouts leave you exhausted, inflamed, in pain, or emotionally defeated, this episode will completely change the way you think about movement and healing.

In this episode, Healthy Habits & Lifestyle Coach Jovonnie sits down with aerial yoga teacher Jo Stewart to explore why traditional fitness approaches often fail women dealing with chronic pain, burnout, fatigue, pelvic pain, and nervous system overload.

We discuss:

• Why movement should feel supportive, not punishing

• How stress and burnout change the way your body responds to exercise

• Why women with chronic pain often avoid movement

• The surprising nervous system benefits of aerial yoga

• How safe movement helps rebuild trust with your body

If you’ve been forcing yourself through workouts while your body keeps screaming for relief, this conversation will help you understand what your body actually needs.

Hosted by Jovonnie, Healthy Habits & Lifestyle Coach helping women who are tired of pushing through pelvic pain finally understand what their bodies are trying to tell them before they lose more years accepting pain as ‘normal’.
