Tate Odell is my personal trainer, and I’m excited to welcome him to the podcast today. Tate’s been in the fitness industry for many, many years. He and I, of course, have different professional backgrounds, but we can easily agree on one thing: pain in the body does not necessarily mean there’s something structurally wrong with the body at the site of the pain. Today, you get that perspective from a personal trainer.
In this Episode:
🔹 Tate takes us through his advice for people who feel afraid of exercise.
🔹 He explains, particularly, what to do if you’re afraid of exercise due to pain.
🔹 Tate and I discuss debunking “associating your pain with harm.”
🔹 It’s so important to move out of that mental paradigm because, as we know, pain does not necessarily mean harm.
This is a great conversation with gentle advice for anyone who wants to reestablish a new relationship with exercise and fitness. Join us.
