KaisaFit // The Kaisa Show

Health and wellness is a billion-dollar industry—and yet, the country’s never been unhealthier. Something. Needs. To. Change. This week, Les and I talk about where the industry is currently and where I hope it will evolve to. It’s about health, not bodies. It’s about empowerment, not shame. Let’s make that change from the inside out, Team!50% OFF Just Move — https://justmove.com/50offAsk us a question — https://kaisafit.com/askCheck out the Just Move library! — https://justmove.com/Check out Start Moving, a workout series for true beginners! — https://startmoving.com/

A lot of positive opportunity lies within injury if you pay attention to your body and spirit.

We’re tackling a big one this week—we’re talkin’ about BODIES! As humans our self-worth can often get wrapped up in what we look like, so how do we push past that? How do we reprogram the way we think and see our physical selves and recognize our greater potential—beyond our bodies? Les and I explore these questions and more in this very personal episode.50% OFF Just Move — https://justmove.com/50offAsk us a question — https://kaisafit.com/askCheck out the Just Move library! — https://justmove.com/Check out Start Moving, a workout series for true beginners! — https://startmoving.com/

Perseverance means different things to different people—so on this episode, Les and I decided to break it down a bit.
