Many people are turned off by the thought of exercising, but the idea of MOVING is less daunting.Moving our bodies will benefit so much more than just our muscles and joints. It helps our heart and circulation, our digestion and the latest research shows that it can even promote the formation of new neurons in our brains that can improve our memory, mood and emotional well-being.
Moving in childhood and adolescence is essential for bone density in adult life and keeping moving in later life and doing some resistance exercises can help keep your bone density higher and help prevent you from falling.
There is a level of activity to suit nearly everyone but if you are unsure about taking up moving then check with your health practitioner or doctor before starting. -
The best way to sustain a new habit is to find an activity that you enjoy…anything from yoga to hiking but before you panic, not all activity requires you to leave the house.
You can dance to the radio or do squats each time you are waiting for the kettle to boil or march on the spot whilst you brush your teeth.
If moving is a real challenge you can still do it sitting down. There are some links below for exercises that you can do in your favorite armchair.
If you are able to get out and about then there is walking, cycling and gardening.
There is an added social benefit of doing an activity with others, either in a class, a team sport or an organized group hike. -
If you struggle with motivation, chronic pain, depression or other obstacles are slowing down, our Wholeness Guides can help. They will be able to assess and help you determine the best way for you to start moving.
