The Importance of Being Fit-ish

Being fit-ish means finding a balance between fitness and enjoying life. It emphasizes the value of being fit, healthy, and balanced without obsessing over perfection or extra optimization. The focus is on long-term benefits and overall well-being rather than chasing marginal gains. Fitness should be enjoyable and sustainable rather than a strict regimented routine. The speaker and her guest discuss the misconception of personal trainers having strict expectations around food choices and encourage a more relaxed and accepting mindset. Being fit-ish is about finding what works for you and enjoying the journey.
