3 Tools to Create a Healthy Relationshp With Exercise

3 ways to have a healthier, sustainable relationship with exercise

😁 Focus on how it makes you feel

Disassociate exercise from weight loss, how you want it to make make you look, and the calorie-burning effect. Focus on the way it makes you FEEL. Do you sleep better? Have more energy? Are you less stressed and more relaxed? Is your memory sharper? Do you feel more connected to your body?

💃 Make it fun

Exercise can be an enjoyable experience that allows you to feel good in your body and have fun—if you let it. If you don’t currently like what you’re following, do something else. It’s far easier to stay consistent when you find pleasure in it. Change it up. Make it exciting. Make it empowering.

Ideas: rock climbing, hiking, surfing, dancing, taking up a group fitness class, boxing, heavy lifting, yoga

👍 Be adaptable

Let’s be realistic. There will be seasons, months, weeks in our life when we really don’t have loads of time to dedicate to movement. Trying to maintain 6 days a week of 40+ minutes of exercise isn’t in the cards for all of us. Check in with your schedule and meet yourself where you’re at. How can you make movement a priority this week that easily fits in your schedule?
