#1 Tip for Staying Consistent With Exercise When Motivation Disappears
Notas do episódio
When did exercise become another thing we're supposed to be EXCELLENT at?
Between running influencers and viral fitness challenges, it can feel like simply moving our bodies isn't enough anymore. We have to be faster, stronger and constantly pushing ourselves to our limits.
Today's guest, Esmée Gummer, has a very different perspective on what it means to move. After being paralysed at 18 and told she might never walk again, she went on to run 5,000 km across the UK and Ireland in just 99 days, hosting 77 run clubs along the way and earning a Guinness World Record.
But for Esmée, the biggest achievement isn't how far or fast she can run. It's being able to move at all, and helping other people find that same joy in exercise.
