Looking For Long-Lasting Motivation to Exercise?

Want a long lasting, fulfilling, and meaningful FITNESS life?

In Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are 📕book (& 🎙️podcast), she talks about 2 different types of desire:⁠

🥵There is spontaneous desire–the kind most of us think about when we think about desire–where just, out of the blue, WHAM, desire hits you like a flyball out of left field.⁠

😊But there’s also responsive desire, where once you start to experience pleasure, only THEN do you begin to desire more of those activities.⁠

THAT is exactly how desire to exercise works for me A LOT of the time!⁠

I’m almost never just going about my day, when a bolt of workout inspiration hits me, and I have to jump up and start doing squats!⁠

Rather, what’s more likely to happen is I convince myself to just start moving with an explicit promise to myself that I can stop after 30 seconds if I don’t like it. (This is Intuitive Movement Principle 10: Gentle Fitness, btw. Just like xesual activity, it’s all about consent, babyyy).⁠

Looking for a 💥revolutionary💥 re-imagining of movement?!⁠
