Episode 79
Wednesday, 3 September, 2025
Send us a textFitness isn't a temporary fix or punishment but a mindset shift and way of life that requires looking beyond conventional gym culture. We need to transform our perspective on physical activity from a chore to an integral part of our daily existence, focusing on small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.• American infrastructure isn't designed for naturally active lifestyles, making conscious effort necessary• Many view fitness as "earning food" or punishment for bad habits—both approaches fail long-term• Replace one sedentary routine with a movement-based one (taking stairs, standing during calls)• View food as nourishment rather than restriction• Add one protein-rich food while cutting something unhealthy from your daily routine• Speak to yourself with compassion instead of criticism• Draw inspiration from blue zones, farming practices, martial arts, and other cultural approaches• Make fitness fun by connecting it to your interests and social connections• Adapt your approach based on your circumstances—limited gym access doesn't mean you can't be fit• Focus on being a fit person rather than trying to get fitIf you enjoyed this podcast, the number one way to help is to share it with a friend, and the second best option is to rate and review it.
