In this episode, we share our honest struggle with fitness as first-generation doctors - from not being able to run a mile in residency to building a consistent 5-6 day per week workout habit using the Atomic Habits framework.
You'll hear:
Why Nii couldn't run a mile by year 3 of surgery residency (and the McDonald's breakfast ritual)
The Atomic Habits identity shift: "I am an athlete"
How to make working out frictionless (clothes laid out, space ready, zero decisions)
Why working out is protection against burnout, not just exercise
How stress, imposter syndrome, and work follow you home (and what to do about it)
The 6-step system to build fitness consistency
Renee's honest take: "I don't love working out" (and why that's okay)
If you're the first doctor in your family trying to build fitness habits and protect yourself from burnout without the boundary-setting model your colleagues inherited, this is your community.
