Summary

Former tax lawyer Zarina Del Mar was working out twice a day, seven days a week—running in the morning, gym sessions midday, and CrossFit at night. She was chasing an impossible body standard while fighting her genetic baseline, until she realized she couldn't feel her own body anymore. In this Fitness Friday episode, Zarina explains how one movement session changed everything. We dive into the psychology of obsessive exercise, why GLP-1s are creating more problems than they solve, and how understanding your body's construction can replace the need to count calories forever. Zarina Del Mar is a fitness personality who transitioned from practicing law to teaching body awareness and sustainable movement practices to women worldwide. What we discuss: Her "Exercise Bulimia" Phase: Two Workouts Daily for Years The GLP-1 Problem: Fighting Your Genetic Baseline How One Movement Session Changed Everything Why Detailed Instructions Matter More Than Exercise Type The Plank Revolution: Feeling Your Fingers and Feet From Calorie Counting to Balanced Plates Forever Why Most Gyms Don't Teach You to Feel Your Body Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
