What is up, everyone?

Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast.

I'm Mariana.

And I'm Tony.

And the fitness industry right now is not what it could be.

It's become something built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation,

directing attention away from what actually matters.

The bottom line is we're not trying to provide just another fitness podcast,

but completely change the industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools

to give you confidence and applying the best possible training and nutrition into your own

lives. Where today we are going to be talking about something that I think it hits close to home

for both Tony and I, but body image and self-esteem.

So your self-esteem seems to predict success and well-being in life domains such as relationships, work, and health.

So it's really important to pay attention to, and I feel like we always have room for improvement, just being a human being.

So today we're specifically going to talk about the role. They both play in achieving your fitness goals, your relationships, and literally any life goal you have,

along with practical actions you could take to improve your body image and overall self-esteem.

But before we dive into that, if you really like the episode or just the podcast in general,
