Show Notes

In this episode, I discuss a part of my journey growing up in South London and how early experiences shaped my relationship with fitness.

From watching my mum skip rope to enduring military-style workouts as a cadet, exercise initially felt like a punishment rather than a source of joy. I share how this mindset led me to distance myself from physical activity and how I eventually transformed my approach to fitness.

I also briefly discuss Kat's story, a fellow South Londoner who changed her relationship with exercise through strength training and consistency.

Whether you're struggling to enjoy fitness or looking to rebuild a healthier relationship with it, this episode is for you.
