Summary
Whatever you call it, exercise/fitness/movement has so many proven benefits for your body and mind that it can be hard to accept that sometimes, more is definitely not more. If you're like many people I work with, you're afraid that taking it down a notch means you're lazy, you're a failure, and you'll automatically gain 20 pounds. And that's total BS you've been lead to believe.
In this episode, I'm sharing three important ways to adjust your fitness routine when life shovels a big heap of stress your way. Making adjustments to these three factors can have a huge impact on how you feel, how you perform, and how you're able to recover. Remember, more is not always more! It's time to start listening more to what your body is asking for...and what it's not.
In this episode I covered:
- Why I'm personally taking it down a notch right now
- Objective & subjective ways to listen to your body re: exercise
- 3 ways to adjust your fitness plan when life turns up the heat
- Real talk about what's not going to happen to your body when you rest
