   S8 E10: Making Fitness Part of Your Life w/Fitness Coach Kyle Fitzsimons

   S8 E10: Making Fitness Part of Your Life w/Fitness Coach Kyle Fitzsimons In our final episode of Season 8, we speak with Boston-based fitness coach at EverybodyFights and Life Time gym, Kyle Fitzsimons about how adults can integrate fitness into their life. As a young person, fitness may be built into your schedule and routine, especially for those involved in athletics. However, once that structure goes away, individuals enter adulthood where there is a need to figure out how fitness can become part of one’s life in a way that feels fulfilling and can bring social connection. In this thoughtful discussion, we talk with Kyle about how to approach finding one’s own version of a fitness routine and community, as there can be a variety of options to choose from and/or to create with others. Kyle is an avid and incredibly seasoned runner (including marathons); however, our discussion connects with individuals across all facets of fitness whether it be strength training, yoga, cardio, and so on. We discuss the physiological, mental, emotional, and relational benefits of a fitness community, which may be more important than ever given the widespread challenges of society with mental health and social isolation. We are just so grateful for Kyle to join us to bring to life her experiences and wisdom gained throughout her vast experiences not only as an athlete but also as a trainer and fitness coach, bringing joy, inspiration, and connection to so many people in the Boston area. Taking one step at a time, despite feeling vulnerable at first, may ultimately lead to life-changing experiences of embracing a fitness community. Summary: The holistic benefits of fitness routines The gift of a positive fitness community The transition out of structured sports team environments Executive function strategies for motivation and goal achievement Working through feeling vulnerable around others The ReidConnect-Ed Podcast is hosted by Siblings, educational therapist, Alexis Reid, M.A. and licensed psychologist, Dr. Gerald Reid, produced by CyberSound Recording Studios in Boston, MA and original music is written and recorded by Gerald Reid (www.Jerapy.com (http://www.Jerapy.com)). *Please note that different practitioners may have different opinions- this is our perspective and is intended to educate you on what may be possible.
