1. Dancing around the house to music that makes you feel good.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What song do you think of when I ask you to think of a nostalgic, happy song? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever it is, I want you to go and find it right now and pop it on! Chances are that your body will start moving of its own accord anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By building your own playlist of music that makes you feel happy, or makes you need to move\/dance\/sing\/perform, your body will be raring to go! And don’t panic, you don’t need to be concerning yourself with being a professional dancer. We are aiming for joy. Silliness welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a great form of movement to pop into your morning routine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dance, sing, perform. Get the family involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s going to make the playlist?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s time for women to move into the free weights section of the gym. In fact, it’s way overdue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weightlifting can be a fantastic source of joyful movement, because you’re only ever beating your own achievements as you progress and get stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weightlifting is amazing for both your mental and physical health, and can do wonders for strengthening the muscles, which can in turn help with joint pains and issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The buzz of hitting a new strength PB in the gym is better than anything else I ever tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re nervous to start lifting, or if you’re new to it then it’s a great idea to get a qualified PT whose focus is strength training, to show you the basics and help you with form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you’ll be well on your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you want a gentle, slow swim, or to smash out lots of lanes, swimming can be a great and far more gentle form of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also sometimes good to get into a sort of meditative state while you’re swimming, because of the rhythm of movement and breathing you get into during certain strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re not racing anyone, and there’s no one to answer to but yourself, so take your time if you need to. Tread water. Float…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the swim as you want, and remember that this is for YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh and since you’ll need to get cleaned up after a swim anyway, may as well indulge yourself in a Himalayan Salt bath<\/a> after, to help your muscles recover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking is probably one of the most underrated ways to get your movement in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nature. Fresh air. Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So simple, and most times its an instant mood improver! Walking gets your heart pumping without the stress and impact of running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So get your shoes\/boots on, pick somewhere that works for you, and get walking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh and PS – Remember you’re doing this to feel good. Don’t aim for a 10 mile walk or 10k steps if that’s going to make you miserable. Just aim to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you an experienced rider? Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Horse riding uses a lot more of your body than you may have thought. It can be so much fun, and at the same time your body is getting in some work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your core muscles will work super hard, and if you enjoy riding then you’ll have the added bonus of a new hobby too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you looking for more self development ideas?
