My Perfect Movement Plan

Book excerpt: Create a personalized movement plan you love. You’ve heard of the million benefits of movement, but you can’t make it work in your body or your own life. Maybe you move a lot at work, and your body is too tired to do the activities you used to enjoy. Maybe you’re an athlete with nagging injuries keeping you off your game. Maybe you want to move more but you don’t have the time—or can’t because moving hurts. The best way to approach movement is to think of it like food—we need certain amounts of all different kinds for our bodies to be healthy. My Perfect Movement Plan helps you figure out exactly which types of movement you’re already getting, what you might be missing, and where to fit it into your daily life. This workbook is all about discovering the “movement diet” your body needs. Not any body, but your body, specifically. Complete dozens of self-assessment questions and worksheets to develop a plan--your perfect plan--for nourishing your body with movement in a way that’s sustainable, meaningful, adaptable, and even restful. Get back to your most joyful activities, uncover new ones—and start savoring the movement in every moment.
