Millions of people struggle with eating disorders, facing both physical and mental health challenges that are often misunderstood. Many suffer in silence, feeling isolated in their journey. At Co Fitness, we believe health is about finding balance, not extremes. With the right mindset and habits, recovery is possible. We're here to help you embrace a healthier, more positive relationship with food and exercise, every step of the way.
How Do You Build a Positive Relationship with Food?
- Listen to your body - Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full. Avoid skipping meals or overindulging due to emotions.
- Choose nutrient-rich foods - Focus on balanced meals with proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates to keep your body strong and energized.
- Avoid food guilt - No food should be labeled as "good" or "bad." Moderation is key, and all food can fit into a healthy diet.
- Personalized support for your nutrition - If you're struggling, talking to a nutritionist or therapist can be a game-changer. You don't have to figure this out alone. At Co Fitness, our experts are here to support you every step of the way. We'll work with you to create a personalized nutrition plan that not only supports your physical goals but also nurtures your mental well-being.
Embracing Healthy Exercise Habits
- Focus on strength, not just weight loss - Exercise should build endurance, flexibility, and confidence rather than just burning calories.
- Avoid over-exercising - Rest is just as important as movement. Overworking your body can lead to exhaustion and injury.
- Use the gym as a positive space - A gym like Co Fitness can be a supportive environment where you build healthy habits, join group classes, and stay motivated.
- Find activities you enjoy - Instead of forcing yourself into intense workouts explore a variety of GX classes at Co Fitness that suit your energy and fitness goals. The Les Mills BodyPump, is targeted to build strength and toning your body with a barbell-based workout that targets all major muscle groups or feel the adrenaline in Les Mills BodyCombat, a martial arts-inspired class combining kickboxing and karate, to release stress and boost fitness. If you love to dance, Les Mills BodyJam is a high-energy cardio workout where you can groove to beats with smooth choreography. For a more mindful experience, try Yoga, which focuses on flexibility, balance, and mindfulness while helping you unwind and connect with your body.
