Ever wondered if there's a different approach to exercise that doesn't involve pain or drudgery? What if movement could be a form of self-care, rather than a chore? In this episode, I had a captivating conversation with Cari, where we explored the concept of "un-exercise" and the power of slowing down in our fitness routines. Cari shared her personal journey of overcoming resistance to movement and finding joy in mindful exercise practices. We delved into the importance of stretching, therapeutic Pilates, and connecting with our body's natural rhythms. We also discussed the prevalence of hustle culture and the misconception that faster is always better in fitness. Throughout the conversation, Cari emphasized the significance of listening to our bodies, honoring our limitations, and finding movement modalities that resonate with our individual needs.
Stretching serves as a gateway to connecting with our bodies and preventing injury. Therapeutic Pilates focuses on strengthening core muscles and stabilizing the body through slow, controlled movements. Embracing a slower pace allows us to activate deep muscles and build strength from the inside out. Fascia release is an essential aspect of movement, promoting flexibility and reducing discomfort. Ultimately, the key lies in starting with the basics, listening to our bodies, and embracing simplicity in our approach to fitness.
