Episode 9: Are You Abusing “Balance” in Your Fitness Journey?
You’ve heard about “balance” when it comes to health and fitness – but what exactly does that mean, and how can you achieve it? Does it feel like a huge struggle to find balance because you’re either on point or completely off track with nothing in between… and finding a happy medium feels impossible or, at the very least, elusive?
You’re not alone, but it doesn’t have to be this way. You absolutely CAN create more balance in your fitness journey and stop oscillating between perfection and giving up altogether in the name of “finding balance” (a pattern of self-sabotage you have to break if you want lasting results!) – and today I’m going to show you how.
