Movement for muscle, mobility, metabolic health and mood!
I talk to clients about the importance of consistently making movement a part of everyday life - and of focusing on movement that feels good. This doesnāt mean itās without challenge - but neither is it about pushing through pain.
If youāre starting from sedentary, build up slowly. All increases whether 10 minutes or an hour - will have benefits. Incrementally increasing movement is what counts and makes it easier to build new habits that stick. Iām also adamant that you donāt need loads of time, equipment or to make big investments to reap the benefits of moving.
Some of my favourite ways to move:
- Iām a long term fan of method and I do a livestream or pre-recorded workout most days. Thereās so much variety which keeps it interesting, and I always find something to meet me where Iām at.
Walking - I walk whenever I can. As someone whoās desk-based most of the day I try to build in a longer walk each day (30+ mins) plus shorter walks throughout the day as āmovement snacksā. On weekends I love to do mega walks when I can. Sometimes I add a weighted vest to walks for extra challenge.
Kettlebells - I do a kettlebell workout usually 3-4 x week. I find it very impactful and I love how strong and energised it makes me feel.
Dancing - I love to dance. These days itās mostly at home - with my kids, sometimes while Iām cooking or even cleaning. It makes me feel happy and is a great way to lift or shift mood and reduce stress and tension.
These are the ways I like to move at this point in time. They work for my body, my time, my energy and my nervous system - yours may well be different. Itās about finding what that is and making it for you, wherever youāre at.
My consultations always include discussions around movement. If youād like to chat to see how a plan for your whole-body health could look, book an intro call at the link in my bio
