Understanding Training Volume

Training volume is a measure of the total amount of work done in your workouts. It helps you appreciate your efforts in joyful movement rather than focusing on appearance or weight.

Why Intuitive Fitness Matters

Intuitive fitness encourages listening to your body’s needs, allowing you to engage in movement that feels good rather than adhering to strict exercise regimens. It's about nurturing your well-being.

Setting Non-Appearance-Based Goals

Focus on goals that celebrate your movement journey, such as enjoying a new activity, feeling energized, or connecting with a community, rather than goals based on body size or shape.
