But nothing is changing, you still feel fear, the thought of working out and all the things that could go wrong are still present. If your body is in an overdrive, and you have physical sensations of hypervigilance and anxiety, it\u2019s unlikely that words \u201cJust calm down, you\u2019re safe\u201d will actually have the effect you wanted. You need to do something else, and I\u2019m sharing with you what it is, in today\u2019s podcast. In part 2, I\u2019m going over the reasons why following workouts from YouTube or apps may not be the best choice for you. Yes, they may be very cheap or even free, but they are NOT designed for you personally.  Unfortunately, they often also lack real structure, they don\u2019t have rest breaks, and as mentioned, they definitely don\u2019t take into account your personal needs, abilities and circumstances. Finally, if you have chronic, neuroplastic pain, it\u2019s hard to find a fitness coach who doesn\u2019t look at this from the perspective of fixing something physical \u2014 that\u2019s what coaches do. But in the case of neuroplastic pain, you know that this isn\u2019t helpful.  Want to try working with me for 2 months? Check out this offer!
