Releasing the Fear of Exercise

17 minEnergy & FatigueFear
I've heard from so many of you how terrified you feel to exercise. You find yourself worried about: -causing a flare-up -dealing with so much fatigue you can't function -not feeling safe or healthy enough to even attempt a workout -doing harm to the health you've worked so hard to achieve You might also be feeling overwhelmed with all of the conflicting claims: "Everyone must exercise to be healthy!" "You should absolutely not exercise if you are dealing with post-exertional fatigue or exercise intolerance" "Only strength training is necessary. Cardio is harmful." "Exercise in a fasted state is ideal" "Exercise in a fasted state is harmful." "Exercise is too stressful and anti-thyroid." "Exercise is pro-thyroid and stress-reducing." Talk about a lot of noise...! Let's calm the chaos, one tap at a time, and remind your brain that you GET to move your body in ways that work for you. This is not about pushing and white-knuckling through. This is about honoring your body because you get to do it your way this time. Questions? Ask below! :)
