Feeling guilty for cutting back on your workouts + being too hard on yourself (Client Q+ A)

Send us Fan MailHey friend, This week we are doing another client Q+A.  This question comes from a client who has been working out for about 5-6 days a week (45-60 min each). She is doing a blend of HIIT, cardio, and weight training. Her problem?Her body is sore and feeling beat up. She's lacking motivation to get herself to work out. And worst of all...the guilt for needing to maybe cut back on the intensity and/or frequency of her workouts. This could have been my exact story about 3- 4 years ago. I was so hard on myself. Trying to do it all perfectly. And so, SO afraid to cut back on what I was doing (even though I knew I needed to and couldn't keep this up forever). I was afraid I'd lose all my results or wouldn't get the results I wanted. What I didn't realize is that, while this might be 'normal' it's definitely not healthy mentally, emotionally, or physically. my relationship with exercise and most importantly with myself was not healthy. Though, it's taken some time to heal, it's been so worth it. Your purpose in life is so much bigger and better than what your body looks like. What if exercise became the thing you did to fuel your mission and your purpose? You ate to feed and fuel and nourish your body so you had enough energy to sustain you in your ambitious and audacious goals?And you felt at home in your body? What would you do if you weren't distracted by tracking your food or worrying about the number on the scale?Let's find out. If you know you were made for a bigger purpose, but dieting has kept you from reaching that potential, I am here to help. Your healthy lifestyle should be something that supports you and your life and all your ambitions...not keeps you busy and distracted and stressed. You can email [email protected] to get started on your own non diet journey toward food freedom, fitness, and life transformation.
