Are bodybuilding, bikini, or fitness competitions healthy? How do they affect your body image and mental and physical health? Do they create an unrealistic fitness view for others?
In this episode of The Chalene Show, I give my honest and possibly controversial opinion on the world of bodybuilding, bikini, and fitness competitions. I share my thoughts on the mental and physical pitfalls, including hormone imbalances, metabolism, stress, and body dysmorphia.
I also reflect on my moments in the spotlight during my time when I starred in countless consumer fitness programs, like TurboJam, TurboFire, and PiYo. I admit to playing a role in certain unhealthy fitness ideals, and my own battles with body image.
But before I dive into the world of fitness competitions, I give a life update, now back from over six months of travel. I share the ups and the downs and the effects extensive travel has on sleep and a regular daily routine.
