When Kate first came to see me, she said something I hear all the time:
“I can only seem to exercise if I’ve got someone pushing me.”
She thought this was a fixed personality trait.
She thought it meant she was unmotivated… or just not cut out for consistency.
And she was also finding it a block to fitting exercise in – because her time to get to the gym sessions were limited, and she was struggling to find a rhythm.
But after a few questions, it was clear:
She wasn’t just a lazy person who needed someone to crack a whip in order to exercise.
She was a ‘Cautious Mover’*- someone who lacked confidence to know what to do or if she was doing it right.
(*one of the six different exercise personality types in my Everyday GLOW Framework)
We worked out a strategy that matched her wiring:
✅ A short, repeatable routine she could do at home
✅ No decision-making required
✅ Just enough guidance to feel supported, but not overwhelmed
✅ A system to improve her confidence in movement and what her body was telling her
And it’s been a game changer -> She’s exercising consistently, for the first time in years.
