Description: The Meaning Of It All

What really matters in fitness? What’s the point of this challenge?

Seriously, is it the way we look, the way we perform, the way our workouts turns out?

Or is it something bigger. Something deeper. You see, we judge ourselves based on how much weight we are losing (or not losing), how much muscle we are gaining (or not gaining), how successful our journeys are becoming (or not becoming). 

This is such a dangerous road to walk down.

What really matters is not your performance. It’s not the speed of your progress:

It is the type of person you become along the way. 

It is the type of person that is forced to rise up out of you, from the depths of your soul that you didn’t know you had in you, in order to reach those big goals. 

you cannot place value based on physical performance, on aesthetics. Although they are fun, and we enjoy when we have physical changes just as much as you do,  they miss the point.

Place the value on your heart, based on your effort, based on the courage that you develop to show up and try again and again and again.

Place the value on the resiliency you are forging deep within your character simply by not giving up. By refusing to fall back into all or nothing and breaking the cycle by taking that next step.

The Meaning Of It All

This is me taking the next step. Been having a hard time getting my workout in if I don’t have at least 30 minutes and so i didn’t get a work out in this week. Then came my period and I again made excuses. Needed some motivation so I came by here to set my intentions for the week. Taking the next step. I will fit movement in where I can and be glad I did so, even if it’s not perfect!

Hi guys,

Rhona here from Cork in Ireland. Thank you so much for such an honest and open discussion! It’s a breath of fresh air to hear trainers speak with honesty. Looking forward to getting started!!

I love that you do a Mindset Monday. As weird as it sounds watching it made me emotional. But it is such a relief and a breath of fresh air for me to be able to have that internal guidance so I can pursue my fitness goals in a healthy and loving way.

Rachael

I just listened to my first motivational mindset, and I’m just completely inspired by you two. I’m excited, and want to thank you for this app!

Kaley

Mindset: Consistency

It was an awesome message but I wanted to listen to what your sister had to say. It sounded like she had a beautiful message but you kept cutting her off and talking over her. So not sure if she was supposed to be in this video but whatever she was trying to share was awesome! Just let her talk and finish what she wanted to say next time!

Thank you!! I needed this! I’m 12 weeks pregnant and surprisingly still struggle with the fact that my body is changing.. but I’m learning to embrace it and eat and workout according to what feels GOOD to me and my body. Thank you

Alyssa

This was wonderful! I’ve been so glued to the scale.. my goals this week are to make foods I enjoy write workouts I love and not weigh myself at all

Why the scale shouldn’t be your only goal.

Sarah

Storm Houser

Exactly what I needed to hear and reflect on! Thank you! These motivational Mondays are so so awesome!

Janine Ducharme

Discipline and Grace

Really good, I felt reassured with Mindset Monday talk today. After losing motivation, hearing this was a great pick me up! Thanks!

Love the 5 minute rule, it works every time. The tip to buy a new outfit works for me sometimes too lol. Dang ptula! 🤣

Ashley Powell

This was the reminder I needed! Thank you!

Stephanie

Motivation

Hannah your reaction to Michal’s story was so funny😂

Francesca

Meaghan

I feel michal’s words when she said “or you’re trying to hold in a fart” 😂😂 too real

Lily

Confidence in the gym

That was great! It was exactly what I needed for support and encouragement! Thank you for creating amazing content and sharing your wisdom and knowledge in this area of fitness and wellness!🧡💜

I love starting my mornings with these. I have positive affirmations written all over rmy house on sticky notes so I see them all the time and that helps me significantly! ❤

Positive self talk

A nice encouragement to add more to my diet.. I eat fairly healthy however, I often miss breakfast and lunch and I know this is truly my problem. I’ve been working on getting at least a morning protein shake with banana and peanut butter, and now need to work on adding lunch back in. Stress doesn’t help but I know my body needs more.

Thank you so much for covering this topic!! I have been working hard for the past 10ish months to repair my relationship with food and come to a healthy mental place with food and figure out what I want long term. This is so, so critical. But this is what the diet industry thrives on and it is tough to undo all our years of programming. Thank you both for knocking down these walls and talking openly. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE 🥰

Tiffany

Oh, that hit too close to home. Guilty of the clean eating and good food VS bad food. When Hannah said, "don't eat food to lose weight", that clicked in my head!
This is going to be a struggle for me, but 1 of the main reasons I joined the challenge!

Marie

Nutrition Episode 1

Thank you for the encouragement. My therapist is on a leave of absence and I was procrastinating finding a new one but this video was my push and reminder to do so. 
Thank you ❤️

Tammy

Mental Health

That was really good and informative to hear. Thank you

This too was another one of those most needed ones for me to hear. My daily job is physical, I work out I eat pretty healthy weekends tend to  be fun lol but this is good for me to hear thank you!!!!
