AP 038: Fitness; How to Use It, Not Abuse It

Description:

We all know the amazing benefits of exercise: mental acuity, emotional release, increased strength, more consistent metabolism, confidence, and on and on.

 

But we don't often talk about the effects of abusing exercise, a trap we can all so subtly fall into.  This can happen through both over- and under-use, although much of this episode it devoted to abuse through too much (or too intense, too often) exercising.

 

Alongside my two expert guests--Meg Miles and Rachel Gainer--we discuss it all.  How fitness is a powerful tool for good and so essential to our well-being; but also how abusing it can negatively alter our lives and become all-consuming.  Learn through our discussion how to properly make exercise an important part of your life without letting it control you.  

 

In this episode, there is a wealth of science, personal stories, and loads of take-aways.  Our goal?  To empower the listeners to view their bodies--and fitness--with love and "healthy enthusiasm."
