What is your relationship with exercise? For some it’s their way of managing their mental health, heart health, or their way of connecting and socializing. For others, it’s a bit more dark and may feel like a chore or something we “have to do.”
My guest today, Lisa DeKam, is a physical therapist who is on a mission to help people create joyful movement. My mind was blown when she explained that in more detail and then turned those words around to truly get the point across.
We discuss:
- Reconnecting with our bodies
- What to do when exercise feels like a chore
- What to do when we are in chronic pain
- Self-compassion
- How the mind-body connection relates to exercise
