EmpowerFit Coaching

Somewhere along the way, the diet and fitness industries have made us think that getting healthy is synonymous with losing weight. ⁣
⁣
I frequently see ads for weight loss products and services (especially now that we’re heading into summer) that say ‘get healthy and lose weight’ as though this is always a package deal. There’s constant messages that we should be constantly pursuing weight loss, like that’s the only thing that matters. ⁣
⁣
But there are plenty of unhealthy ways to lose weight and unhealthy reasons to pursue weight loss.⁣
⁣
Healthy looks different on different bodies; it isn’t a certain size or body shape. ⁣
⁣
For some people, getting healthy means gaining weight. For others, it means backing off their training to let their body recover. Or it might be improving their relationship with food and eating more, not less. ⁣
⁣
We need to separate health and weight loss instead of seeing them as one in the same. You can have goals that don’t include weight loss. You can want to get healthy and not give a f**k about the number on the scale. Or if you want to reduce your body fat, find a way to do it in the healthiest, most sustainable way rather than buying into claims of a quick fix. ⁣

Wondering what's involved in The Push Up Challenge?

Over 21 days, teams or individuals will complete 3,128 push-ups to highlight the devastating number of lives lost in 2017 to su***de.

In 2017, su***de was the leading cause of death among people aged 15-44 years and 45% of Australians will experience a mental health issue at some point in their life.

We are getting involved to mental health and we'd love for you to join us!

You can either join team Goliath and complete the pushups or make a donation to support Headspace.
