This episode tackles a a common mindset that goes like this: I’m not going to be able to find an hour to exercise today. I’ve got way too much work to do to make it to the gym or attend my Pilates class and I can’t get out for a walk today. I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow, the next day or the one after that.
This is what is known as the ‘all-or-nothing’ mindset.
It’s the belief that if exercise doesn’t align with our preconceived notions of what it should look like – be that in terms of time, specific location, intensity, equipment or results – then it’s not worth doing. Then, when we can’t meet those rigid expectations of what exercise should look like, what do we end up doing? Nothing at all.
Listen in to discover how to turn this mindset around.
So excited to let you know that my book, the Active Workday Advantage: Unlock your most energised, engaged and happy self at work, is at the printers!!

Your body and brain don’t care about all the rules you (or the fitness industry) have set up about what exercise has to look like. Your body and brain just want you to move however, whenever, because that’s how they function at their best.
