Today’s podcast is 2-part:
In part 1, I’m sharing with you a very practical tool that helps you to get started with strength training even if you have chronic sensations.
You may have tried telling yourself: “I’m safe!” and repeated that many times, hoping that that will take down the feeling of intensity and anxiety. But nothing is changing, you still feel fear, the thought of working out and all the things that could go wrong are still present.
If your body is in an overdrive, and you have physical sensations of hypervigilance and anxiety, it’s unlikely that words “Just calm down, you’re safe” will actually have the effect you wanted. You need to do something else, and I’m sharing with you what it is, in today’s podcast.
In part 2, I’m going over the reasons why following workouts from YouTube or apps may not be the best choice for you. Yes, they may be very cheap or even free, but they are NOT designed for you personally.
Unfortunately, they often also lack real structure, they don’t have rest breaks, and as mentioned, they definitely don’t take into account your personal needs, abilities and circumstances. Finally, if you have chronic, neuroplastic pain, it’s hard to find a fitness coach who doesn’t look at this from the perspective of fixing something physical — that’s what coaches do. But in the case of neuroplastic pain, you know that this isn’t helpful.
