Sweating isn't about punishing your body—it's about feeling free. In this episode, I'm diving into how I turned exercise from something I dreaded into a necessary act of self-care.
If you've ever used cardio as a way to "fix" your food choices or felt like moving your body is just another task on your to-do list, I've been there too.
We're going to shift that mindset together.
I'll be sharing the two key things that helped me: mindset shifts and understanding energy balance.
Plus, I've got a request—listen to this episode while you're moving! Whether you're walking, doing laundry, or just stretching, I want you to feel the freedom of movement as you soak in these new perspectives.
Let's talk about how to stop seeing exercise as a punishment and start seeing it as a gift to your body!
