82 - Find Intuitive Fitness

Send us Fan MailYou've heard about intuitive eating before, now let's chat about intuitive fitness.I am joined by Deanna Beaton, personal trainer and coach to bring us more discussion intuitive fitness/exercise/movement.Deanna shares how emotional eating was a life saver when she didn’t know she needed it.We also talk about what intuitive movement is: this idea that your body wants to move and knows when and how much. Deanna shares her idea of the “swingset” that can happen as we heal our relationship with movement, which may include periods where you make peace with movement and make peace with rest. I also share some of my experience with this after I ran a half marathon in Oct 2019 and then did almost no formal exercise for 18 months while I healed my relationship with movement/exercise.I then pick Deanna’s brain about how we know our body WANTS to move. Spoiler: any time you notice the words SHOULD, HAVE TO, or MUST that’s a good indicator that you are not engaging in intuitive movement.We close the episode with Deanna sharing what person training is, why a person would want a trainer, and the differences between training and coaching. I love Deanna’s approach to training and coaching because there is no shame if you don’t do a workout as planned. You can find Deanna on Instagram and her website. Are you stuck on the swing set?
