The only detox I'd recommend

I've been teaching indoor cycling for over two decades and there's a long list of phrases I NEVER use.
In short — anything that presumes, whether implicitly or explicitly, that the goal of exercise is to burn off your beer or earn your dessert — is totally off limits.
This type of "encouragement" might be everywhere, but it's toxic on so many levels.
If you're nodding your head thinking, that makes sense but I've never really thought of that way before, that's because of diet culture.
Diet culture is everywhere.
It’s in the “guilt-free” labels on your packaged food, the menu listing “sinful” chocolate on the dessert selections, and the movies that cast a fat person as the token loser.
And its subtle (and not so subtle), constant messages might be impacting you more than you think.
Want to learn more about diet culture?
Through the Louisville Recreation Center I'm offering Diet Culture Detox, a three-part workshop that will help you let go of toxic diet culture messaging and reclaim a healthy relationship with food and your body. It starts on February 6th.

Helping you innovate, implement, and integrate
1 年Could NOT love this more .... ?????????????????????????? i often talk about the fact that many instructors (myself included) began because we LOVE to exercise AND, for many of us, that 'love' came from an outdated script about why you should exercise (for all of the reasons you rattle off in this TikTok). So, here we are ... working out our own 'ish amplified through a headset on a stage at the front of the room. It's beyond time for us to fix our own soundtracks, both internally AND externally!
