Wellness girl chat with Dr. Dixie Stanforth, a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine & one of the top voices in the field of kinesiology & health education. We chat about atomic habits and how small changes & shifting the language we use to talk about ourselves and our routines can help us stay motivated towards our goals. We talk about exercise as women and what the right exercises are for women throughout the lifespan. We also talk about consistently challenging our brains and bodies with new movement patterns and doing hard things! This episode is filled with learning about our bodies, movement, and motivation!
