Fitness didn't come from a place of wanting to look good for somebody else. I wanted to prove to my dad, my brother, and myself that I was good enough.
Get ready for an eye-opening discussion on fitness and nutrition in this episode of IAMACOMEBACK. Hosted by Mark Jennison, this episode dives deep into the real reasons behind staying fit - beyond just looking good. Mark shares his journey, starting from his teenage years when fitness was all about aesthetics, to a profound realisation in his late 20s that true fitness is about life performance and being the best version of yourself.
He’s joined by a guest who shares his own struggles with body dysmorphia and how fitness became a way to prove his worth to himself and others. They explore how early experiences, like childhood trauma and family dynamics, can shape one’s relationship with fitness and self-worth. The conversation touches on the dangers of chasing perfection and the importance of self-love and gratitude in achieving true fitness.
With candid anecdotes and raw honesty, they discuss how their fitness journeys evolved from a place of self-hatred to one of self-acceptance and balance. If you’ve ever felt like your fitness goals were driven by negative emotions, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to turn that around. Tune in for a mix of humour, heartfelt stories, and practical advice on making fitness a sustainable part of your life.
