How exercise consistently with hypermobility or pain with Carissa Stewart

In this episode, Nikki is joined by nutrition and fitness coach Carissa Stewart to talk about why exercising consistently is hard, especially when you're hypermobile, chronically ill or have a complicated body.

Topics covered:

Why motivation matters, how chronic pain can reinforce the tendency to avoid exercise, and what you can do about it.

Why treating exercise like a habit can set us up to struggle MORE with consistency and what to do instead.

How flare plans and exercise substitutions help you continue to move forward if you experience body challenges.

How to adapt your workout with less mind drama when you experience pain, injury, or flare-ups.

How to measure progress if you're hypermobile or chronically ill beyond weight lifted, sets, and reps.
