Why Your Workout Feels Like a Chore: Middleish Episode 106 Unpacks the Struggle

Improving these things will, there's a really good chance, I'll say, do more for both the quality of your physical life and mental and emotional life, as well as just how long you live, the longevity of your life, than losing weight.
Ever find yourself dreading your workout routine? In Episode 106 of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray dive into why exercise can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Inspired by a client who wasn't enjoying their triathlon training, Erin and Michael break down five common reasons people loathe working out. From the casual walker to the elite athlete, this episode has something for everyone. The hosts discuss how a negative mindset towards exercise can lead to burnout and unhappiness.
They emphasize that exercise isn't just about weight loss; it's a powerful tool for boosting memory, cognition, concentration, and mood. Erin and Michael encourage listeners to choose workouts that align with their personal goals, whether it's improving balance, aging gracefully, or recovering from an injury. They also touch on the importance of proper fueling and how energy availability and menstrual dysfunction can impact your workouts.
Variety is key, they say, suggesting different ways to mix up your routine to keep things interesting. Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former professional triathlete, shares her journey of rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement. Meanwhile, Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, adds his insights on making workouts enjoyable. If you've ever felt stuck in a workout rut, this episode offers practical tips and a fresh perspective to help you find joy in movement again.
Tune in to 'Middleish' for a balanced take on health and fitness that champions moderation over extremes.
