Call it exercise, training, movement, working out...sometimes it just isn't all music and rainbows. It takes effort, time management, discipline and creativity to stick to a physical activity routine.
But what happens when you truly loathe working out? What's behind the disinterest and "meh" attitude toward something we know helps us feel better? And is there a way to break through?
In this episode, we tackle five things we commonly hear interfering with exercise enjoyment. This conversation can apply to all levels of exercisers, from the casual walker to the elite athlete.
Erin Green is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recovering professional triathlete and owner of Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho. After years of regimented training, she is rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement, social runs and exploring unpaved bike routes. Check out her blog and videos at www.eringreenracing.com.
Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com.
