Is It Ok To Half-Ass a Workout?
Description
(That's not how we actually feel by the way!)
This is another solo/ duo episode where we shoot the sh*t and talk about all things body image, diet culture and embracing our 'here and now' bodies.
Christine's husband asked her to join him on his 'HELL' run this Saturday and it got us thinking about how so many of us see exercise as a form of punishment or self-flagellation. A penance for eating the doughnut or having the cake when we 'should have had more willpower' or just been 'good'.
If movement had ZERO impact on your body in terms of aesthetics, would you choose to move in the same way?
A question we ask ourselves frequently. In this episode we discuss whether you should always give it 100% or whether showing up is enough.
Untangling movement and weight loss is TOUGH but entirely possible. Let us know if you agree or reach out if you have any comments or questions after today's show.
Please reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement. Ela currently has limited spaces for Intuitive Eating coaching and if you'd like to reconnect with movement, contact Christine. If you'd like exclusive access to our supporter-only channel click here.
