Food, We Need To Talk

Many people set exercise goals without a clear understanding of why they want to pursue them. Here we discuss the importance of finding a deeper purpose or "why" with your fitness journey. Whether it's reducing pain, being more active with family, or finding joy in movement, having a profound reason enhances long-term commitment.

We discuss the importance of consistency over intensity, how to plan for setbacks, and using the power of habits and routines. Check out our episode on habit formation.
