🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip #23 🌿

Workouts Should Build You Up, Not Break You Down
(Train to grow — not to survive.)

Exhaustion isn’t the goal.
Being drenched in sweat and barely standing doesn’t mean it worked.

What matters?
→ Proper load
→ Postural integrity
→ Controlled breath
→ Intentional effort
→ Progressive results
→ Recovery that feels like growth, not collapse

You shouldn’t fear your workouts.
You should look forward to them.

Here’s the tip:
Today, ask yourself after training:
Did this session leave me better?

→ More mobile
→ More aligned
→ More energized
→ More connected to my body

If not — it might be time to shift your training focus.

Why it matters:

• Reduces injury and chronic fatigue

• Improves adherence and results

• Balances the nervous system

• Supports joint health and energy

• Builds real strength and confidence — not just soreness

You are not here to be broken down.
You are here to build a life that feels strong.

Try it this week:
→ Choose workouts that focus on quality movement, not just quantity
→ Track how you feel after, not just how hard you pushed
→ Schedule recovery as part of your training — not separate from it

Reflection:
What if the most effective workout was the one that left you walking taller, not crawling home?

Yours in strength and sustainability,
