This conversation was different for me. It challenged me and was confronting.
Maybe I take movement too seriously and need to find that playful element once more.....
Jamie Carbaugh (aka fitragamuffin) is a non-diet Virtual Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor. She guides folks to learn to enjoy regular movement by shifting their view of what traditional exercise ‘should’ look like.
Her message of ‘movement for more’ celebrates all the reasons to exercise beyond the scale. She currently resides in Germany and is a mother and a military spouse.
We chat about rediscovering our playful side and not just finding the joy but the silliness, the cameraderie and allowing movement to be what it is and not having to count.
What if our metrics were if we were feeling better, had more energy or were able to sleep better. What if just managing to enjoy movement after years of using exercise as punishment was classed as 'progression'?
Jamie asks the questions that challenge the current fitness culture rhetoric and her passion for folks finding play and fun is so infectious.
