ReplyDeleteIt didn't suprise me that people who were exercise resistant were that way because they had a negative childhood experience or association with exercise. These are some of the things I try to help my clients through. It has really worked well for me also, letting go of my old negative emotions, associations or opinions about something. When we turn those negative thoughts into postitive ones, it can give us incredible powers.
Thank you for sharing that article.
