My Fitness Journey

About My Fitness Journey: My Fitness Journey is Podcast/Platform developed to educate and redefine what it means to be fit. Social Media has created an unhealthy environment and often set unrealistic expectations on what it means to be fit. The goal is to educate people on the idea that one person’s PERSONAL journey is different from yours, and there are several factors that play into their success: mindset, experience, diet, genetics, anatomy etc. Embrace your journey and don’t be so quick to want to be like others, without understanding why and how. It leads to disappointments, self-doubts and injuries. The hope is that My Fitness Journey will not just provide a story-telling platform, it will once again educate and break down misconceptions.
