About this listen
Don’t do fitness alone. Go here: https://www.beginwithin.fit/
I used to tell my clients that "fitness is 80% nutrition, 20% exercise"—until I realized this popular phrase was actually sabotaging their success. In this solo episode, I break down why this seemingly motivational saying creates more problems than solutions and share what actually works for lasting health and fitness results.
This episode will answer these key questions:
- Why does the 80-20 rule ignore crucial factors like sleep, stress, and relationships?
- How do different fitness goals require completely different approaches?
- Why does this formula create dangerous guilt and obsession around food?
- What's the real "formula" for sustainable fitness success?
- How can you honor your whole-person approach to health?
If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at fitness math, this episode will help you shift to a more sustainable, realistic approach that actually works for real life.
