She describes how she is re-learning how to view her body, that healthy looks different for everyone, and how a career-altering injury led her to a deeper understanding of the importance of rest and a rounded approach to fitness and nutrition. They also discuss the importance of motivation when you aren’t feeling your best, and how the key is being kind to yourself and finding different approaches to movement and nutrition - whether that's a 10-minute walk outside or a few stretches while you are watching tv. If you want to get in touch with the show, email us podcasts@elleuk.comFollow Liv Little on Instagram @livslittleFollow Ixta Belfrage on Instagram @ixta.belfrageFollow Miriam Krug on instagram @miri.krugIn association with @nikewellcollective
