About this audiobook
For years, Meg Boggs believed the narrative told to her by society: she thought that as a plus-sized woman, she could never be fit; she could never be strong; she could never love exercise; she could never be enough. But when Meg became a mom, she decided to rethink her preconceived notions and embrace her body for what it is, not what diet culture said it should be.
In Fitness for Every Body, Meg shares her personal story and inspires you to celebrate your own body for all its capabilities. Featuring a dozen step-by-step, full-body workouts, this book is more than a workout guide or a training manual. It’s a reminder that you’re more than just your weight, that you are stronger than you believe, and that just because you might not be thin, doesn’t mean that you can’t be an athlete. Your body is capable of doing incredible things—you just have to let it.
Equally uplifting and enlightening, this body-positive fitness guide will inspire you to love your body no matter your size and to approach food and exercise in a way that benefits both mental and physical health and wellbeing.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic!!! You are such an inspiration, this has helped open my eyes to me!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meg’s story is absolutely inspiring and i love following her account on instagram, but this book just wasn’t for me. i think it’s a good starting point for people who have never read anything about body positivity, HAES etc, but for me it was filled with a lot of vague information about things i already knew (of).
i should’ve guessed a lot of it was gonna be about pregnancy and postpartum, but it wasn’t included in any of the short descriptions so i forgot. needless to say it was a little too much for me, however, i totally see the importance of it for new mamas.
i think the worst thing about listening to this was that i don’t have access to the pdf with the training guide, which would be nice.
