Move Your Body, Ground Your Mind

You probably don’t need to be convinced that daily movement is associated with positive outcomes in all areas of your life - physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially! But many of us struggle to get enough exercise even though most of us likely believe being "in shape" is a good thing.

Great news, you can begin to experience the benefits of movement today!

Which one of these daily life improvements do you crave the most? 

• Staying grounded in stressful moments
• Being more present with things that matter to you
• Thinking more clearly, focusing longer, and retaining more
• Improving mental health: decreasing symptoms of depression and anxiety
• Building confidence, self-assurance, and resiliency

Approachable Practices We Can Begin Today

1. Try incorporating movement into your everyday routine:

• Where you park matters 
• Taking the stairs matters
• Ending meetings 5-10 minutes early and using that time to move matters!

> Research proves you don’t need a full hour; 2-10 minute microbursts of movement works!

2. Aerobic movement gets you there:

• Brisk walking matters!
• Start small and build up, go outdoors if possible, walk with people for a motivation and connection bonus.

3. Strength training takes it to the next level:

Those large muscle groups matter! Whether the gym is for you or not, there are exercises for every major muscle group that can be adapted for a home workout, beginner to advanced skill levels, and intensity can be scaled - just google it!
