Have you moved your body yet today?

Move because it makes you feel better.
⠀
Move because it helps restore your energy.
⠀
Move because it lifts your spirits.
⠀
Move because it boosts your mood.
⠀
Fitness is as much about the effect it has on our brains as it is about the effect it has on our bodies.

⠀
So I encourage you to invest in a little simple self-care today with a 5-minute movement session like this one (or 10 minutes if you want to do more!).
⠀
1 Turkish Get Up**, Left side
20 Russian Swings*
1 Turkish Get Up, Right side
20 Russian Swings
⠀
*If Swings aren’t in your toolkit yet, substitute goblet or bodyweight squats.

**And if TGUs are new to you, go through the steps unweighted with your hand squeezed in a fist.
⠀
The magic is in the breath and the flow, so do your best to keep your mind ‘in the moment’ and create a regular breathing pattern to get maximum payoff from your movement session.
⠀
And did you notice I didn’t say ‘workout’?

Moving doesn’t always have to be about working out, particularly in times of higher levels of stress—sometimes it’s just to feel a bit better, not burn calories or ‘crush it.’

Keep taking good care of you--and making regular movement a part of that self-care <3

With you all the way,

Kate
