Content note: This episode includes discussions of exercise, dieting, weight loss and body image.

How do you learn to love exercise when it has always felt like punishment? In today’s more personal episode, I’m sharing how I completely changed my relationship with movement over the past three years, from barely moving to running half marathons and genuinely enjoying the gym.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We discuss:
Why enjoyment became more important than discipline
Starting slowly and letting yourself stop
How I focused on progress that wasn't attached to my appearance
Removing comparison from your fitness journey
My running tips 
Why taking a break doesn’t mean having to start all over again

Happy listening!
