Why Extreme Routines Lead to Burnout & What to Do Instead

In this episode of Gym Bag Confessions, we’re getting real about something way too many of us fall for: extreme fitness routines that promise quick results but leave us burned out and over it. 🥵 We talk about why going 110% all the time doesn’t actually get you where you want to be—and what actually does work instead.

 

Rochelle opens up about her own history with all-or-nothing thinking and how letting go of perfection changed her entire relationship with fitness. AnnMarie shares how consistency (not intensity) is what keeps her in the game, even during life’s busiest seasons.

 

If you’ve ever said “I just need to be more disciplined,” or found yourself restarting the same plan over and over—this episode is for you. 💥
