In this episode, coach JK is joined by personal trainer and nutrition coach Alejandra Morse of The Elemental Coaching.
JK and Alejandra have a transparent and vulnerable conversation about her fitness journey, and how that has helped her develop an expert eye for what’s truly holding people back from reaching their goals.
This conversation covers:
How body dysmorphia disguises itself as “motivation”
Why chasing aesthetics can wreck your health
The overtraining trap (and what fatigue is trying to tell you)
How to reframe rest days so you actually take them
The truth about getting “bulky” from lifting
What most people misunderstand about progressive overload
How to stop making fitness feel like punishment
Alejandra’s story is one a lot of people will relate to: crushing workouts, chasing the next goal, but still feeling like it’s never enough.
Her turning point came when she stopped trying to "look" strong and started learning how to BE strong...mentally, emotionally, and physically.
This episode offers perspectives that will leave you feeling better informed and empowered as you continue on your own fitness and health journey.
