Movement is not something reserved for athletes or people who “work out.”
It is a birthright.
Your body was built to bend, reach, squat, carry, twist, and walk across this planet.
The modern world has slowly taken those movements away from us. We sit more. We outsource physical effort. We live inside climate controlled spaces and forget that our bodies are designed to interact with the real world.
But it is never too late to reclaim movement.
Walk more.
Stretch in the morning.
Carry your groceries instead of rolling them.
Spend time in the garden.
Movement woven through the day will always serve you better than punishing yourself for one hour at the gym.
Here is a stretch to try today, stand sideways next to a chair and place a knee in the seat of the chair. Holding on to the back of the chair stretch your opposite arm up and over. Feel as though you are pushing your hips away from the chair.
Inhale as you open your arm out to the side, exhale as you reach the arm up and over.
