Episode 434: Why 99% of People Fail To Achieve Their Health Goals with Tess Verhoeven

My name is Tess, and I have been an athlete my whole life. I was a gymnast as well as a nationally ranked track and field athlete until a severe knee injury ended my career. I went from being extremely active to no activity, which took a toll on my mental and physical health.<br /><br />I knew I needed to do something, and that is when I fell in love with weight training. I have been lifting for about 4 years now and I have learned so much. My goal is to provide you with easy-to-follow workouts and help you show yourself what you are capable of. <br /><br />Getting in shape shouldn’t be a punishment. It’s an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of fitness; and while there may be a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of fitness are worth the challenge. I am a certified personal trainer through ACE and have a diploma from Fanshawe College in Fitness and Health Promotion.<br /><br />1:52 When did Tess pick up her first workout exercise? <br />4:10 Tess battling back from injury and what did she learn? <br />6:10 Biggest misconception about health and fitness?<br />15:44 Should a blueprint be created for women led by women for health and fitness?<br />19:20 What is something more people need to learn about health and fitness? <br />20:48 People who train heavier weights than usual, does that have to deal with ego? <br />24:00 What is Tess’s favorite workout? <br /><br /><b>→ CONNECT WITH TESS VERHOEVEN ←</b> <br />INSTAGRAM: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tess_verhoeven/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/tess_verhoeven/</a><br />WEBSITE FOR TESS: <a href="https://www.wellnesswithtess.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.wellnesswithtess.com</a><br />SHOP WITH TESS LULULEMON: <a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/2grew7as48xltwx/lululemon-links/?invite_code=35124875fa2a4c25af41f07610db2f83&amp;sender=517703057073548723" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.pinterest.
