Hi BodyRockers,

Today we have a lower body focused workout, but we also have something else for you as the workout progresses – Jenny get’s into a very honest and candid story about her struggle with alcohol, and how being a ‘people pleaser’ challenged her ability to make healthy choices.

I wanted to highlight this because I know that so many of us struggle with alcohol and how it impacts our fitness, health and overall quality of life. If you are struggling, or looking to make a long overdue change, please know that you are not alone. BodyRocking can be a bulwark against the urge to drink or consume substances. Fitness can help you stay focused and repair the damage on multiple levels.

Also know that people can and will try and sabotage your progress, especially at the beginning when you are setting your intention to exercise and eat is support of your transformation goals. If you are a self confessed ‘people pleaser’ then it will be hard to resist when friends and family expect you to participate in old, negative patterns of behaviour. This might include drinking, drugs, binge eating etc. If you say no, expect anything from light teasing, passive aggressiveness, all the way up to open hostility. It sucks to face this often unexpected resistance from people you know and love, but it’s incredibly common.

The bottom line is that this is your life to live. If you make yourself small just to fit into someone else’s expectations of how you should live, act and be, then chances are you are going to be stuck far below the heights of what you are truly capable of. When you BodyRock with us, I invite you to put your feelings of anger, frustration, sadness etc into each rep and each exercise. The workout will filter this energy and leave you feeling hope. Use your hurt as fuel, power your movement with it – often some of the most powerful motivation comes from feeling wretched.

This is BodyRock. Where the grit of life meets our hope and intention backed by daily, consistent action. Because we have to get all of this out of our heads and our hearts and leave it on the exercise mat. We’ve got you – and each day that you show up and put it in is one day that you accomplished a step beyond the small version of you, the safe version that doesn’t stand up for themselves, the ‘little’ you. That’s what we are doing here when we promise to get you in the best shape of your life.
