Today, we talk about discipline vs. obsession in fitness. When you start working out, you incorporate fitness into your identity, which is a good thing. Research shows that it helps keep you disciplined in your fitness routine. However, obsession with exercise is a slippery slope that can actually be detrimental to your health through feeling like you have to earn food and feeling anxiety when you can’t workout. Injuries can also have a huge impact on your mental health. This episode is about coming to a state of balance, and what might happen when fitness becomes who you are.
