Redefine Beautiful

It’s inevitable, you’re going to get sick! Which queues one of the most common questions I get - “Should I workout when I’m sick”? In today’s episode, I’m covering exactly that! But spoiler alert -  this isn’t exactly a yes or no answer, so this episode is all about covering the deciding factors that will tell you if working out when sick is a good or bad idea.

Things to look for: 

1. Are you feeling at least 80%?
2. The neck rule. 
3. Can you prevent others from getting sick if you do?

As you reflect on your fitness journey, maybe you’re thinking you should be further along by now? Or, perhaps, you’ve started to develop an unhealthy relationship with food or exercise. Wherever you’re at on your journey, I want to share some unexpected lessons I learned during mine in hopes that you’re able to gain a new perspective for yours. We often start our fitness journey to reach a desired physique, but once we start to change ourselves from within, we get to fully embrace this new lifestyle. If you haven’t learned these lessons yet, it’s only a matter of time! Stay patient, stay consistent, you’ve got this beautiful! 

What I cover: 

1. Not everyone will support you or understand your journey, and that’s okay! 
2. Fail, and fail often. 
3. My body image was attached to my past trauma. 
4. Capability over appearance is the true indicator of lifelong progress. 
5. Motivation over discipline, or you’ll never stick with it. 
6. Teamwork makes the dream work! Find your people. 
7. Learn to forgive your past for the way you treated yourself. 
8. Consistency over perfection. An all-or-nothing mentality will be your downfall if you don’t address it.
