009 - Does Size Really Matter: Talking Body Image w/ Alex Coloreo
Today we are talking about SIZE – not to be confused with my fitness program CIZE. We're going in on how easy it is to judge someone by the size or shape of their body. There's a thought that someone has to look a certain way to be fit. Fitness models can give us a perspective that fitness can only mean shredded 8-pack abs.
What we don’t take into account is that every single body is different and should be treated as such. So, we are going to talk about that person who may not have the typical body type for fitness but who can go for it just as hard as any fitness model can. Join us today as we talk Alex Coloreo, the fit curvy girl. You may know her from INSANITY MAX:30 as “Alex is Power” but today we explore who she is behind the scenes—the fast-paced city girl who has learned to balance the social scene while staying fit.
Alex has worked towards staying fit and healthy her whole life but no matter her weight loss or muscle definition, she has always been a “curvy” girl. One of the toughest times in accepting her body was the process of being cast in MAX:30. Even though she had been in the best shape of her life, she was still surrounded by doubt when it came to body image.
Alex tells her story of how society’s norms had succeeded in completely knocking her down and how she got to the point in finding acceptance in herself to get back up again. Find your sweet spot and your inner confidence, own it, and everything else will fall into place.
