Confidence in Lifting and Life with Lifting Lindsay

In today’s episode, Lindsay Parker (LiftingLindsay) joins us to share her journey into health and fitness. We chat about “starting where you are,” pushing outside comfort zone, truly experiencing maintenance, and how so many women are still feeling the negative effects of being in a calorie deficit because they’re scared to eat a little more and find a true, healthy maintenance.We talk emotional attachment to the scale, why it’s important to choose quality exercises for your goals, how to weed out some of the online BS, and nailing the basics before focusing on the specifics. We talk in depth about building confidence and keeping our power. We talk about important life checks and balances and keeping ourselves grounded while working for our goals, embracing all pieces of ourselves.“I don’t want to be fine, I want to be amazing! I want to be wonderful! I want to love myself! I want to have confidence. Confidence only comes from pushing your boundaries, experiencing new things, and failing, and being okay failing. But you have to put yourself out there. That’s where confidence and real self-love come together.”- Lindsay Parker“As soon as you need people to give you compliments for you to feel good internally, that is a huge red flag that you have given up your power. As soon as you give someone else power to build you up, you also give them the power to take you down in a minute.”- Lindsay ParkerThis week on Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness:Choosing quality exercises for your goals and why it mattersHow genetics really do play a role in our physiqueThe problem with copying everything someone does simply because you like the way they lookHow comparison kills motivation and joyThe two major parts to physique changeHow confidence is found by pushing outside our comfort zonesHow we give away our power by relying on others for confidenceEmbracing all pieces of ourselvesWhere to find Lifting Lindsay:Lifting Lindsay on InstagramLifting Lindsay websiteLifting Lindsay’s More than Fitness Podcast on Apple PodcastsLifting Lindsay’s More than Fitness Podcast on SpotifyBeStrong MembershipThanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!
