Last Friday I woke up SO dead tired and was trying to rally and get myself to go lift. But then I was like, why?! Knowing that the whole reason that I work out is to feel better and move about my life with more ease. Forcing myself to lift when I was every possible kind of tired would have pushed me farther away from that feeling on Friday. So I skipped it.
So many of us work out for mental health or physical health or to live just live our damn lives but then turn around and do things that are literally the opposite of that. And today we're gonna talk about it.
On this episode we talk about:
- Why always doing sets of 10 is keeping you stuck.
- Why you need to stop going to the gym for an hour.
- What factors you need to consider before you automatically choose the most reps and sets in the range in your program.
- How all of the above waste a fuck ton of time and brain space.
- What you're missing by constantly chasing sweat, burn, and breathlessness.
- Why you need to stop listening to every piece of advice you hear from fitness professionals, your doctor, that non-diet dietitian or therapist you follow on IG, and that lady you overheard talking after yoga.
- Why I didn't get offended when someone gave me a form check on one of my IG reels last week.
- Why I might give opposite cues for the same exercise depending on what client I'm talkling to.
- Why I'm flexible about not using kettlebells all the time, even though they're my favorite.
- All the details about my newly refreshed online group strength training program & community, Kettlebell Social!
