A few months ago I recorded a podcast episode with one of my clients about my half baked theory that training from a diet culture mindset is making us feel "old". (That was Season 1, Episode 39) . We talked about this from the perspective of our own lived experiences as millennial and Gen X women. The idea was that of COURSE you're gonna feel like you're "too old" to do certain things if you've been beating yourself into the ground for years. I had to imagine that years of over-training and not eating to support that can wreck your body in a worse way than age can. Right?
Well, kind of. Today I'm bringing another one of my clients into the conversation, because as a boomer, my client Debi has a perspective to share that is both similar (AKA another flavor of the same shit sandwich) and uniquely different. I've been working with Debi for about a year at this point, and I have to say that this conversation was so refreshing. It gave me hope for the future and reminded me to give a little grace to the adults who raised me while watching them do Weight Watchers and drink Slimfast.
On this episode we talk about:
- What made her want to get started with strength training, specifically from an anti-diet approach.
- What her experience was like growing up at a time when expectations and beauty standards for women were so different (but also so the same!)
- What it's like to break toxic cycles and create a new narrative for your family.
- Her experience with strength training from an anti-diet perspective, and how that looks different from what she might have done in the past.
- How ageism made her believe harmful & false things about what movement and fitness could look like for her as she got older.
- What she wishes more personal trainers and strength coaches knew about helping people make strength training sustainable as they age.
- What she hopes movement/training/exercise will look like for her into her 80's and 90's.
- So many other great things!
