In today’s episode of the Move Your Body Differently podcast, I welcome back Amy Connell, a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and the host of the Graced Health podcast. Amy’s message is clear: fitness should be about balance and grace. She’s here to share why it’s important to embrace rest, enjoy dessert, and stop pushing your body beyond its limits.

We dive into powerful insights Amy has gained over 20 years in the fitness and nutrition industry, including:

The critical role of rest days in building strength and preventing injury
Why you should stop striving for a “perfect” body and understand the set point theory
How to create a fitness routine that serves God’s purpose for your life, not society’s ideals

If you’re a young mom or woman in your 30s or 40s struggling with the “all or nothing” fitness mentality, Amy’s wisdom will offer a refreshing perspective. Learn how to move beyond vanity-driven goals, compare less, and focus on feeling and functioning well in every season of life.

Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or are a seasoned athlete, this conversation will help you find freedom in your health, align your workouts with your faith, and take care of your body the way God intended.
