Sarah and co-host Adrienne Martini welcome Louise Green, author of the just-published book BIG FIT GIRL: Embrace the Body You Have. The plus-size mother triathlete shares how she became a trailblazing plus-size athlete thanks to a learn-to-run 5K class led by a larger-than-usual run leader. Louise tells how this experience propelled her to find her calling leading people to finish lines and launch Body Exchange, a plus-size fitness boot camp with seven Canadian locations. The gals talk about the importance of having athletes of various shapes and sizes in the visual landscape; as Louise reminds: “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Louise explains the Health at Every Size movement, and why walking through fear is like building a muscle. The BAMRs discuss how to own the label of “athlete,” after all three confess to feeling like posers at times.
