SHOW NOTES

On this episode of Tara Tovar’s Outside the Studio podcast you’ll learn about how fitness isn’t just about discipline; it’s really about caring for yourself enough to make a commitment to your health, and that consistency always trumps perfection. Even if you make a mistake or feel like a failure one day, how do you learn to try and try again?

Kathleen’s unique approach to fitness and coaching—namely, that a person’s mindset is just as important as the number of hours they spend at the gym—sets her apart from many of her peers.

What we talk about:

• • What are the three pillars of long-term fitness success: workout mix, nutrition mix, mindset mix.
  • What is a mood data journal and why it’s helpful in reaching your fitness goals
  • How to tailor your workout with your mood in mind based on biofeedback from your body
  • Why your mindset is paramount in reaching long term health goals
  • How to create realistic fitness goals that will be sustainable long term
  • Embracing your younger self to create a healthy sense of self-compassion
  • Nutrition and diet theory how to sort through all of the diets out there
