Send us a textWelcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! Today, I am excited to dive into exercise for endometriosis with Amy Grace. Amy is a fitness trainer specializing in women’s fitness and a hormonal health coach. We also discuss Amy’s journey with endo and how she aims to empower women through their fitness journeys despite endo symptoms.In this episode, you’ll hear:-Endometriosis doesn’t end your life; it’s about learning how to work with your body.-Everyone’s starting point is very different. You might have to do some functional work to get to the point where you feel like you can reach a consistent fitness routine. -Meet your body where it is right now. Understand your pain patterns, and menstrual cycles, and work towards feeling capable of having a fitness routine.-Build foundational strength before you can get back to the old routines you had before your endo symptoms.  -Exercise varies with your cycle. Some days will be better, and your approach should align with your symptoms.-Cycle syncing and symptom awareness are crucial. Knowing when to take it easy helps manage pain flare-ups, and helps you identify when to take it easy with movement.  -Identify movements that feel good. Understanding how different exercises affect your pain can help you stay active on bad days.-Brainstorm a list of movements that you actually like to do, and then see what you feel from that movement will allow you to start exercising now.  -Start with small, light exercises to keep your routine manageable. This way, you won’t feel worse than when you started. Gradually build up your routine as your body allows.When it comes to exercising with endo, it can be frustrating when your body can’t do what it used to, or you want to do more than you can. Start with movements that feel good and are fun so you’ll stick with them. You don’t have to do everything at once. Accepting your body as it is now is the best way to build confidence and exercise routines because, over time, you will only get stronger.Connect w/ Amy:Website: www.projectfiercefitness.comIG: @amy_projectfiercefitnessFreebie: https://download.projectfiercefitness.com/endo-starter-guid Subscribe to the Aligned to Rise Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect w/ Alyssa: Instagram Website Work w/ Alyssa: Free Endo Diet Guide Free Quiz: What's Your Poop Telling You?
