Show notes
It seems like a lot of people I know (myself included) have had to take a break from working out recently. I know I'm not alone right? Maybe you’ve been sick? Or you're just dealing with the weight of the damn WORLD? Chances are you’re also concerned about how this whole situation has affected your body and your fitness?
Whether you’ve gained weight, lost muscle & strength, or just feel out of practice with your usual activities (all totally normal and ok!), it’s important to set yourself up for success as you begin to return to “normal” workouts.
On this episode we talk about:
- Why activities feel hard when you haven't done them in awhile, regardless of your weight or size.
- Why the "beginning" is different for everyone (and why that's where you wanna start!)
- How to manage your expectations so you don't wind up frustrated or disappointed in yourself.
- How to "listen to your body" and challenge yourself appropriately without going overboard.
- Why "good form" is both overrated AND important.
- How to set realistic goals.
- Why you don't have to choose between more structured workouts like lifting weights and other hobbies and obligations.
- Why it's ok to ask for help!
