๐๐พWe canโt control the opinions of others in regard to our weight or body shape. Iโm 5โ3โ and have lived my whole life being told I should weigh less.
๐๐พWe canโt control the BMI chart most Docs still advise by. And as a more muscular but short female, Iโve had a GI Doc suggest losing weight (despite being perfectly healthy!)
๐๐พAnd we canโt control our culture – what society deems as acceptable and attractive. Which is why despite cringing every time I post of video of myself, I just press publish anyway. Why? Cuz I have a very normal body. I live healthy and balanced and Iโve been through a lot of hormonal stuff, but my body has settled into where it is right now WITHOUT food or fitness extremes and despite being fearful and uncomfortable, my mission to normalize normal healthy bodies far outweighs my inner critic.
So I focus on what I CAN CONTROL! And you should try the same!
๐ค๐พMy perceptions.
๐ค๐พMy reflections.
๐ค๐พMy mindset.
Mindset is a HUGE dial mover for my clients; specifically their exercise mindset.
Most perceive exercise as a must-do chore which makes exercising for them something that tends to be laborious, not easy and definitely not enjoyable.
So I coach my ladies to view their current daily activities as โexerciseโ that counts toward their daily movement goals. The fancy smancy word in our biz is the acronym NEAT.
When they made that exercise mindset switch, slowly but surely their exercise habits became an opportunity (not a nuisance). They looked forward to their movement goals because they realized that exercise CAN BE…
๐๐พeffortless,
๐๐พeffective
๐๐พenjoyable!
When you think of the term โexercise,โ what is the very FIRST word that comes to mind?
