Overcoming Exercise Anxiety: A New Chapter Beyond Schoolyard Sports

Pain-Free Athlete's Podcast

Haunted by the echoes of gym class whistles and the sting of dodgeballs, I open the floodgates to a conversation many shy away from. We've all been there – the last one picked for the team, the anxiety of locker room politics, and the sense of defeat that followed us home from school. Within the walls of this episode, I peel back the layers of physical education traumas and dissect how these experiences have left a mark on our adult relationship with fitness. My journey as a fitness educator has allowed me to gather not just my own tales, but also the shared narratives of countless individuals who've grappled with similar demons. Together, we navigate through the murky waters of past humiliations and forge a path towards a future where exercise is a cause for celebration, not dread.
