What Having A Disability Taught Me About Body Neutrality Ft. Kelsey Lindell

Diet Starts Tomorrow

Sami and Aleen are joined this week by fitness influencer and Well+Good’s first ever disabled trainer of the month, Kelsey Lindell. They discuss being born with a disability, going from skipping gym class to becoming a fitness instructor, and being raised in a conservative environment. They talk about how ableism and capitalism are connected, protecting people’s rights, and why the term body neutrality is more powerful than body positivity. Plus, they cover some of the recent controversy taking place at the Tokyo Olympics. Finally, they discuss the fitness industry’s lack of experience working with people with disabilities, how to talk to someone with a disability, and why you should always listen to your body.
