Could your commitment to fitness be leaving you exhausted rather than stronger? This week on Performance People, Georgie talks to Dr Shannon Ritchey, a doctor of physical therapy and creator of the “gentle consistency” approach, which builds strength without burnout.
Shannon shares how persistent pain and an unexpected break from exercise made her rethink her own training. She explains why more isn’t always better, what effective effort looks like and how to build a routine you can sustain around work, family and everyday life. They explore why high achievers can struggle to pull back, how chasing exhaustion can distract from progress, and why patience might be the missing ingredient in your training.
