Fitness and Nutrition when You're Sick

Today on the show, we talk about how to handle fitness and nutrition when you get sick. We share our personal experiences, and discuss giving ourselves grace when we’re under the weather.We especially focus on your return to fitness after an illness, and the importance of easing yourself back in and removing your emotions from your workouts and nutrition. We offer actionable steps to make your nutrition super easy, and how to get the ball rolling when you start to feel better. “Nothing good comes from a place of disrespect. Establish why you’re doing this and head into it from a place of respect for yourself, respect for your body, respect for your mind.”- IrisDeadlifts “If you go in balls to the wall trying to hit it hard on the first day back, you can actually prolong being sick or get yourself sick again because you’re putting too much stress on your immune system.”- Brooke MadiganThis week on Tater Talks: Two Bitches Talk Fitness:·      Understanding the difference between low motivation and being sick·      The importance of giving yourself grace when you’re under the weather·      The importance of easing back in when you start to feel better·      The importance of removing emotions from workouts after an illness·      Actionable steps to make nutrition easier as you start to feel better·      The importance of self-respect and remembering your personal “why”Resources Mentioned:·      Your Timeline Isn’t Serving You (Episode)·      Are Your Goals Empowering or Oppressive?
