In this 45-minute Easy Run (Zone 2), we dive into the complexities of fitness culture and the damaging effects of all-or-nothing thinking. We’ll explore the toxic narratives surrounding “no days off,” the obsession with pushing harder, and the notion that success demands constant physical depletion. In this episode, we’ll cover:
The dangers of all-or-nothing thinking in fitness and the pursuit of perfection
How to challenge the myth that fitness success requires relentless effort and “no days off”
Understanding the connection between exercise obsession and disordered eating
Identifying unhealthy beliefs about rest, food, and body image
