#38: The Tour de France
Welcome back to The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault.
Today, let’s talk about the fascinating world of the Tour de France and the learnings you can take away regarding your health and weight loss goals.
If you haven’t watched it – go binge the Netflix documentary on the mythical race. I loved it and as we roll into July 2024, it’s the perfect time to chat about what these elite cyclists can teach us about our own weight loss journey.
From the get-go, I was surprised to learn that the race is much more than just pedaling to the finish line. It’s a strategic endeavor where teamwork and the dynamic between the leader and team play crucial roles. I drew so many parallels to weight loss here—it’s really about having a clear goal and a support system.
We’ll cover how the riders deal with doubt and adversity, and how they show incredible grit and determination. Plus, I’ll share why it's crucial to have a strategy tailored to your strengths, just like these cyclists do. And remember, when plans go awry—which they will—it's all about how you show up and adapt.
Tune in to hear what the toughest bike race in the world can teach us. Enjoy the journey, celebrate the process, and keep pushing your limits.
