Summary

Welcome to another episode of Embrace Your Real, where I answer your real-life questions on the intricacies of the health and fitness journey. In this candid conversation, I address the not-so-glamorous aspects, offering valuable insights and practical advice.
Join me as I dive into the questions that resonate with the shared experiences of the diverse community in my Movement With Julie app. From understanding the concept of lifting "heavy" to dealing with post-workout soreness, navigating sickness-related setbacks, and handling judgmental comments about your body—this episode covers it all. By the end of this episode, you'll not only have practical solutions to common challenges but also a renewed sense of empowerment on your health and fitness journey.
What I discuss:
Q1: What exactly does lift “heavy” mean? I always see people saying “stay consistent and lift heavy”. I understand that heavy is subjective, but is there a weight where your mind says “I’m lifting heavy”?
Q2: I’m not sure if I’m alone in this but I find most weeks I’m so so sore from lower body on Monday that I struggle to function let alone complete the remaining days that involve lower body! What do I do about this?
Q3: I’ve been sick for the last 2 weeks so I haven’t been working out. I’ve been binge eating because food makes me happy. I’ve been really consistent before I got sick so I wish me getting the flu didn’t happen because it has thrown me way off. What should I do?
Q4: My mom is really judgmental and comments on my weight a lot. What’s the best way for me to navigate this?
