There is a lot of science behind the benefits of movement, but using that to create a bunch of rules on how we 'should' or 'shouldn't' exercise is ignoring the fact that everyone's goals are different, that people's needs and what's available to them are different, and that what we enjoy or dislike is very subjective. The science is helpful, but not the full picture!

There is no moral value in movement, and you don't owe it to anyone to move. AND: moving can be beneficial to your physical and mental wellbeing. It just doesn't serve us if we get fixated on someone else's idea of what that should look like. Flexibility and giving yourself permission to move, and to not move, is key to making it a sustainable aspect in your life. We don't have to strive for whatever the 'optimum' is supposed to be for strength or fitness, we don't have to do it perfectly.

If you want to listen to some of our guests talk about this topic, check out these episodes - Dr Lisa and Hannah had some incredibly valuable suggestions on how to move for wellbeing.
