What types of physical activities did you enjoy doing as a child? Get in touch with your inner child and have fun moving your body again! Exercise doesn’t have to be some drudgery task you have to do, it should be something fun you look forward to.

Benefits of Practicing Joyful Movement and Simple Tips:

•Studies have shown that some form of movement or exercise in the morning helps to boost your metabolism for the rest of the day.

•Go for a morning walk without your phone and soak in the beauty around you, find a 10-minute a day 30 day yoga or Pilates challenge on YouTube, or practice some simple body weight exercises.

•The night before, take a few moments to plan what exercise you are going to do the next morning and then neatly set out the equipment you might need to make it easily accessible to you (workout clothes, yoga mat, running shoes, etc.)
