Recognize why you hate exercise.
This is a non-exhaustive list of reasons that folks have told me (some of the reasons) as to WHY they don't like exercise.
When I first celebrate a client for taking a break--at first, they look confused, and then they smile.
Or that one time a movement channel member said "I enjoy your workouts b/c you always tell me I can stop whenever I want" (I do encourage them to cool down though ;)
Even though my lived experience may be different than those who I help, I know the magic that comes from someone who meets you where you are.
Whether it's physical, mental or emotional- it feels so wonderful.
And not everyone has that experience- of someone sitting with them in the suck, or someone listening to them with understanding instead of thinking about all the ways to 'fix them/or the situation'
and that's how I practice as a fitness, trainer, as a mother, as a human navigating this world.
I hope you get to have the experience of someone BEING with you and truly hearing your stories. 🩶
