{Ep. 056} With Chrissy King

Chrissy King is a Milwaukee-based ISSA certified personal trainer and fitness blogger. Chrissy first stepped into a gym eight years ago with a weight loss goal. But she was soon introduced to strength training, and realized that this fitness modality brought her a sense of confidence and inner strength that was completely independent of her weight...and of any results. She fell in love with the process. Now, she guides clients through strength training and creating a sustainable fitness routine that they can genuinely enjoy.

Intuitive Movement

My 10 Principles of Intuitive Movement

You might be wondering: what is Intuitive Movement? Well first, I’d like to say that I did not coin this term and I am certainly not the first to talk about it. But as a Personal Trainer and Intuitive Eating Counselor, it felt well, intuitive, to explore this concept and share my 10 Principles of Intuitive Movement (a play on the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating).

I think it’s important to point out that these are my 10 principles. These are observations I’ve made based on my personal and professional experiences and there’s still a lot to learn and discover! It’s also important to point out that these are not tricks to “do more” or “stick with” an exercise or fitness program. These are principles to help you develop your intuition to have a healthy, flexible, and relationship with movement (exercise, working out, fitness… whatever you want to call it!).

A How-To Guide on Interpreting and Implementing Health and Diet Advice

From scientific studies and medical professionals to Instagram influencer ‘experts’, there is no shortage of nutrition and health information out there. But, the reality is the field of nutrition and dietetics is still new, and safe and effective health and diet advice implementation not only involves a great deal of trial and error but also some solid critical thinking skills, nuance, a ‘big picture’ perspective, and occasionally the ability to hold two opposing ideas at one time. It’s not the simple cause and effect model that we’ve always assumed. Read the full post >>>

{Ep. 053} Anna Chapman on Navigating Body Love and Checking Thin Privilege
