I mean, if you move more, you will certainly lose fat and tone your body up but is that the best way to think about exercising?\u00a0Here are five reasons why I stopped feeling like that about working out!<\/p>\n
When you are exercising, don’t fight against your body, help it to move and be strong<\/strong>. Breathe and be connected to your muscles. In the beginning, it\u2019s always complicated and challenging, but if you persevere, you will succeed. Step by step, you will find your balance and a fantastic feeling of wellness.<\/p>\n I uncovered an essential part of myself thanks to fitness. And it was a fantastic adventure: the beginning of my awakening. I changed my lifestyle and became healthier, I trained and pushed myself to find a potential I ignored, and I learned consistency and dedication and most importantly how to connect my mind to my body.<\/span><\/p>\n I didn’t eat enough carbs and trained more than 10 hours a week without enjoying it. I was always comparing myself, disgusted by my body and I became exhausted and so sad…<\/p>\n My way of thinking and my mindset had to change. With a lot of journaling and reading about personal growth, I started enjoying the process and was not focusing on an unhealthy goal. Finally, I discovered a strong woman capable of making significant shifts in her life. It allowed me to know that I had to be my best friend to move forward and build my body, not destroy it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Exercising and moving are beautiful ways to discover what you are capable of and how strong you can be.<\/strong><\/p>\n I started my blog in French thanks to fitness four years ago, and I changed my life to become a Personal trainer: travelling to study; meeting beautiful people; practising English daily. I became a Personal trainer to help others to get healthier and uncover their potential: a new start. It was such a beautiful journey, and I am so grateful for all these things fitness brought me (the first step towards my purpose, a part of the puzzle). It could be a significant step in your life as well; it is just a matter of mindset and attitude.<\/p>\n Enjoy your workout, celebrate your body. You will relearn to know yourself. Each movement will be meaningful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.9″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.leonareading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/07\/I-stopped-working-out-to-lose-weight-fit-your-dreams.jpg” _builder_version=”3.9″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11″]<\/p>\n If you run, adding some muscular reinforcements will be an excellent choice to consolidate your back, your joints and prevent them from repeated impacts. You will avoid injuries. If you practise yoga, boxing, tennis, dance, that will be a perfect choice as well.

Exercising is not incompatible with being intelligent, this is the opposite!<\/p>\n Here are the most important benefits:<\/p>\n After exercising, how do you feel? Think about it, isn\u2019t this feeling powerful and inspiring?<\/p>\n In short, you will have high energy to deal with any daily tasks and be more enduring for any new activities\/sports. You will feel so good about yourself, and that is priceless! Working out focusing only on weight loss is a short-term vision, the real objective should be a healthy and active long life and what you learn on the way.<\/p>\n I wanted to share my vision of fitness with you because working out is one of the best tools in my coaching series.
