This Expat Life - S0 / E65

#65 Staying fit & healthy as a busy expat in NYC with Amie Wiley

How do you stay active, fit & healthy when you prioritise your career abroad? How do you stay committed to exercise when you’re just about to move countries and the overwhelm is real? 


Questions I have definitely asked myself, as - even though I regularly exercise - my work & to do list often get priority over a gym class.


I got impressed with fitgirl & content creator Amie Wiley who did the 75hard challenge as she moved from Ireland to NYC. If you’re not familiar with 75hard, it’s a challenge to build resilience and includes 2x 45 min exercise A DAY, and much more. As I saw Amie doing that just before I moved to Rio myself, she inspired me to - this time, yes - commit to my gym classes and runs even though I had SO much to do and the overwhelm was very, very real.


I love seeing how Amie designed her life in NYC and with health & wellness still the key element in it, I decided to ask her on the show to chat more about these topics.
