On this week's episode, I talk with Kira Onysko, a Certified Personal Trainer and Inclusive Fitness Specialist, about approaching exercise--or movement--with curiosity. Meaning wondering what your body can accomplish performance-wise, as opposed to trying to change what it looks like. And Kira shows us what that can look like.
Kira also gives some great advice on getting started with and maintaining a movement routine. She suggests that we:
Start slow and slowly increase our time
Make it manageable, i.e. don't set goals that you can't meet
Make it social
Choose activities you enjoy
Focus on performance goals, not aesthetic goals
Kira also talks about her own story with hating her body and constantly comparing it with others. She's up front about the disordered eating patterns she developed in response to her negative feelings about her body. And she shares how she changed all of that to become the size inclusive trainer and eating disorder awareness advocate that she is!
