Ep. 14 How to Create a Workout Routine You Can Stick To

In this episode of Nourished to Bloom, we explore how to start shifting our perspective on exercise. Too often, we see physical activity as merely a means to an end, focusing on burning calories or achieving fitness goals.

But what if we prioritized the joy and fulfillment that movement brings to our lives? Join us as we dig into how we can redefine our approach to exercise and embrace movement as a source of not only promoting our well-being, but a way to worship our Lord.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Recognizing Unhealthy Patterns: Identify and address disordered exercise habits such as feeling guilty for missing workouts, exercising compulsively, or using exercise as punishment for food choices.
• Breaking Free from Diet Culture Mentality: Understand how diet culture influences our views on exercise and learn how to separate movement from weight loss and restrictive eating.
• Why Traditional Approaches Fail: Discover why drastic lifestyle changes and rigid exercise beliefs often lead to frustration and burnout.
• Embracing Joyful Movement: Learn how to make movement enjoyable and accessible by focusing on internal sensations rather than external metrics.
• Making Movement Fun Again: Explore various activities that can reignite your passion for movement, from dancing and hiking to team sports and martial arts.
• Being Active in Daily Life: Incorporate creative and practical ways to add more movement into your daily routine, even with a busy schedule.
• How to Incorporate Your Faith into Your Movement: Moving your body is a way to show gratitude and appreciation for the gift of your body.

Exercise is about more than calories burned, inches lost, muscle built, changes in body composition or physical appearance. Physical activity alone is independently one of the biggest facts in health promotion and disease prevention.

We need to shift away from the misconceptions about movement and learn to build lasting and sustainable habits focused on the joy, health promotion, and preparedness for our unique vocations and missions.
