This week on the Fit Girl Magic podcast, I chat with the amazing Lindsey Heiserman about navigating the rollercoaster of fitness, nutrition, and mental health.
As we get older, our bodies evolve, and so do our fitness requirements. It’s super frustrating trying to keep up with those intense workouts from our younger years, leaving you and me both feeling defeated and stuck on how to progress. Or more importantly how slow it’s going, oye….
Lindsey and I dive deep into the societal pressures and the individual pressures we put on ourselves to achieve a certain the perfect body, marriage, kids, and career. Lindsey and I get real about using exercise as an escape from tough emotions and the epiphany that this isn't sustainable long-term.
We share insights on how to shift your mindset and fitness approach. Emphasizing the importance of listening to your body, discovering new, joyful ways to move, and being curious about future possibilities instead of clinging to past identities. Lindsey brings her expertise on the mental and emotional aspects of fitness, reminding us that true progress comes from consistency and small, achievable changes.
