How Your Personality Affects Your Exercise Behavior

How Your Personality Affects Your Exercise Behavior Do you ever look at someone and wonder how they can be so driven and accountable to matching their behaviors to their most important values?

There are many factors that determine human behavior, specifically ....

Some examples of just how true this is can be found every single time we struggle along our fitness journeys. Do any of these sound familiar? “ Even if I lose the weight, I’ll just gain it back…” “Of course I’d forget to pack my workout shoes, I’m such an idiot.” “Either I do it 100% or not at all.” The examples could fill a book, but the concept is clear. These are examples of cognitive distortions which are ....

6 "Unhealthy" Foods You Thought You Shouldn't Eat

When I was asked to write a blog about “6 "Unhealthy" Foods You Thought You Shouldn’t Eat” I literally said, “Awesome blog idea, that’s right up my alley!” The reason for this is I was the typical strict “clean eater”, thinking that anything that was processed, manufactured, contained sugar, made with white flour, or contained chemicals was going to kill you.
