How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Exercise w/ Megan Dahlman
I used to be so anxious to take a day off from exercise that I’d force myself to work out even when I was absolutely exhausted, sore AF, overwhelmed and even in pain. I ran half marathons because that’s the form of exercise that burned the most calories (even though I didn’t enjoy it and it caused me a whole lot of physical pain). I tracked every single step walked, calorie burned, and active minutes on my Fitbit with obsessive precision. Did I run in place in my basement on the days that I hadn’t hit 10,000 steps yet? You bet I did. To say that I used to struggle with an unhealthy relationship with exercise is the understatement of the century.If you’ve ever viewed exercise as a way to lose weight, chances are you can relate…When you’re a woman exposed to diet culture on the daily (i.e. ALL women), it’s really easy to fall into the trap of BAD advice related to exercise, like…“Go hard or go home!”“You need to hit the gym after eating that dessert”“If you're not sweating buckets and pushing yourself to the limit every day, you won't see any results.”“No pain, no gain”As a result , you might constantly be feeling like you’re not doing enough, or you’re doing the wrong thing. Or, you’re either going ALL in working out 7 days a week, or you’re completely off the wagon and struggling to even get yourself motivated to work out AT ALL. That’s why this week on the podcast… we’re talking about How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Exercise.I’m joined by the incredible personal trainer Megan Dahlman - host of the top-rated Self Care Simplified Podcast - to help you make joyful movement PART of your life in a way that DOES NOT feel complicated, overwhelming, time-consuming or like a chore. So if you’re tired of struggling with guilt, inconsistency, and confusion around exercise, you’re not alone and this episode is for you!In this episode, you’ll here:The #1 thing that women struggle with THE MOST around exerciseWhy you might have an unhealthy relationship with COMMITMENTThe biggest mistakes you’re making around exercise and goal settingWhy it’s so hard for you to start slowWhat is the WISE method to movementThe difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivationHow to rewire your negative association with exerciseAnd so much more!Enjoy!Connect with Megan DalhmanInstagram: Register here for my FREE Live workshop happening on January 20th : The Proven 4-Step Framework To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food For Good Without Dieting Or Willpower 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
