Happy day Five! Movement is medicine! The reason that movement is part of this 30 day mindset program is because movement is KEY to supporting a healthy mindset. Read about why and watch the training video below!
Movement is one of the most powerful activities we can do for our minds, bodies and souls. Movement helps regulate our nervous system, work through Stuck energy and process. In the movement tool, I have supplied sample calendars and examples of how to strength train. If you haven’t strength trained before, I recommend starting slow and building in a little more each week. Know that when you train a muscle group, we want to give it at least 24 hours rest before training it again. So you would avoid strength training Lower body two days in a row. If you don’t like strength training, do a movement activity that speaks to you! Again, this is YOUR challenge!
Below I have given you examples of what my movement schedule looks like. If this overwhelms you, don’t let it…this is just an example. If you only have 10 minutes one day, pick one thing. If you can only commit 30 minutes, try only doing 3 sets of a movement instead of 4! The KEY is to make it a non-negotiable and figure out a way to fit it in because it is a way you take care and love yourself rather than thinking its a burden to do. Movement is medicine.
