Description

This episode explores why fitness doesn’t have to mean going to the gym and why finding movement you genuinely enjoy can make staying active feel much more realistic. Rebecca reflects on her own struggle with gym motivation and asks whether the problem is always discipline or whether some of us simply haven’t found the right kind of movement yet. The episode looks at alternatives such as swimming, badminton, walking and dance, while also exploring the barriers that can make sport and exercise feel less accessible for Black women. It also looks at the importance of community, confidence and belonging in fitness spaces, and why exercise can offer more than physical health  Sources: https://www.afpe.org.uk/news/666591/Aquatic-Participation-Amongst-Ethnic-Minorities-Has-Decreased.htm https://womeninsport.org/news/women-losing-out-most-as-activity-levels-remain-below-pre-covid-stats/
