Can I be honest with you? I haven't been working out as hardcore as I used to...

...and I like it.

But I still make exercise a priority in my life because instead of thinking that I HAVE to do it, I now WANT to do it. My journey to Intuitive movement (aka moving your body consistently and sustainably while knowing when to push and when to pull back), started off with me venturing from one extreme -hardcore workouts- to another -not working out at all.

If you've done the same, you have a leg up here and I'll tell you why.

Here's how I changed my perspective from forcing myself to work out to now thinking of workouts as an act of self-care, like brushing my teeth.

FROM ONE EXTREME...

After years of Bodybuilding training, working out 2 hours a day 6/7 days a week with no breaks except for one yearly vacation, I had a severe burnout...duh... oh and also crazy injuries that led me straight into the care of a physical therapist.

A fitness and health enthusiast's worst...
