#16 - How to Finally Find Motivation to Exercise (and Actually Enjoy It)

Struggling to find the motivation to exercise? You're not alone — in fact, only 15% of Canadian adults are meeting weekly movement recommendations. In this episode, Liz and Ally dive into the psychology of motivation and share how you can make exercise feel less like a "should" and more like something you actually want to do. You'll learn: Why motivation isn't something you wait for — it's something you build. The three key elements of self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and how they apply to fitness. Practical ways to choose movement you enjoy, build confidence with new skills, and find the support you need to stay consistent. If exercise has ever felt like punishment, or you've struggled to stick with a routine, this conversation will help you rethink your relationship with movement and discover motivation that lasts.
