Let’s talk about #JoyfulMovement! I’m prepping for my @weightinclusivenutrition session with @abbytherd and @johnbridger42, and thinking a lot about the different ways we can visualize these nuanced #IntuitiveEating concepts. Movement/exercise while dieting might not feel enjoyable or sustainable. Joyful movement, simply put, invites us to consider our preferences for movement and build in flexibility and options. I imagined the range of movement I do and they started to categorize themselves into high impact to low impact, feels v v good to feels not good at all (physically AND mentally). Swipe to see where some of mine land! Then swipe to see some of the questions I often ask when thinking about how, when, or if I move on any given day. Your answers are guaranteed to be different than mine, just like your version of this graph will look different than mine. How do we use this? Well, after we answer some of those questions we might be able to rule out some activities. If I’m itching to move but feel sore or tired, high impact stuff isn’t going to help me feel the way I want to feel (keep swiping to see). Then I think about what I want to do or have time to do and we end up in the upper right corner. From there, I pick one — and not one of these options is any morally “better” than any other. I wanted to offer this here if any of you are struggling with breaking out of exercising only for diet-y reasons. You don’t have to “earn” your right to eat or “burn it off” afterwards. How do you apply nuance and neutrality to your decisions about how, when, or if you move your body?
