Ep 5: Movement & Exercise: Why Busy People Find It Hard To Keep Up

For so many people, exercise feels like a guilty “should,” an obligation, or something that never quite fits into a busy life. In this episode, I look at why exercise and movement so often become another stressor instead of something that supports your energy, health, and wellbeing.We’ll cover:Why exercise and movement so often slip to the bottom of the list - and why that’s not about laziness.The biggest myths and misconceptions that make exercise feel harder than it needs to be.The real impact of sedentary modern lifestyles on mood, focus, sleep, and long-term health.How all-or-nothing thinking and overtraining can be just as unhelpful as not moving at all.Movement and exercise isn’t about punishment or perfection, it’s about finding small, realistic ways to move more - and rethinking how you approach exercise so it becomes a source of wellbeing, not stress…. and eventually a part of your every day life.Listen to learn how to break the cycle and bring more movement into your day in a way that actually lasts.Interested in your support?
