Episode 192 – Your Playbook For Moving When You Feel Like Hot Garbage

This episode is for the days when your recovery is trash, your sleep sucked, or your body is just not cooperating. The days when the idea of training feels nauseating, but also the idea of missing out on a training session doesn’t sound that great either.

These are the days everyone says “listen to your body”… but if you’ve got all-or-nothing thinking, a sensitive body, or a busy schedule, that advice is not super helpful. Yes, we do want to listen to our bodies, but navigating that middle ground in real life is not so simple.

That’s why in this episode I’m sharing my personal playbook for moving when you feel like garbage. You’ll learn:

  • Why “listening to your body” advice backfires (and what to do instead).
  • The 3-step framework I use to calm my nervous system, preserve momentum, and reduce pain on off-days.
  • How to turn garbage days into consistency days (without digging yourself deeper in a poor recovery hole)

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.

I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.

Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
