Today on the podcast, I am joined by Louise Green, a weight-inclusive fitness professional. Louise saw the many gaps for individuals in larger bodies within the fitness industry and has been creating opportunities, inclusivity, and education in fitness since 2007.
In this episode, we will discuss:
- How fitness and messaging around fitness have changed and shifted over the years.
- The sadness around diet culture and how it has been built to fail.
- The importance of representation in fitness and why people need to see all body sizes as leaders in the field.
Louise also shared some mindset and physical shifts to lessen the impact of diet culture.
Physical shift:
- When finding a space to exercise, start with a place where you feel safe. Check the gym’s website for diversity, representation, etc.
Mental shifts:
- Understand your expectations of yourself and what fitness means to you.
- Loosening the grip of your relationship with movement and shifting to an “all or something” rather than all or nothing mindset.
