How the Pandemic Helped Me Achieve My Fitness Goals
02/04/22 • 22 min
Set smart fitness goals because your body is always changing. Join Linda in today's episode of The Weight Minders Club as she talks you through her personal experience of overtraining and underfueling and shares her five strategies of how to succeed and progress. Learn how to balance your energy, listen to your psyche and physiology and set smart fitness goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Your psyche is always battling against your physiology. Often your body is sending you signals to be smart, recover and take on fuel whereas your mind is constantly fighting those urges. Without balance and with too much training you will end up putting yourself in an awful state of stress and overwhelm.
- By working smarter, you can still do anything at any age, but you have to change. You have to respect your physiology, understand your personal board and the energy that makes you because all of the time your body is changing.
- If you're at the start of your fitness and wellness journey do not push yourself too hard because it's not sustainable. Be cautious of dieting long-term as things will happen to your body naturally and organically that are out of your control. You just have to set goals and work towards them with a balanced approach.
BEST MOMENTS
“If I had a little bit more respect for myself, I would not have ended up under fueled and exhausted.”
“Your physiology change in cycles and you have to respect it.”
“I had to learn to go right back to the basics in order to get to where I am right now”
“Every coach needs a coach.”
“You can still do anything but you have to be smart about it and have balenced energy”
“The first thing I did was I set goals. I had to go right back to BCIT small incremental goals and monitor my progress”
