Restorative Exercise/ Movement
You’ve been sedentary for years (even if you exercise for an hour a day you’re still sedentary for 23!!) and now you want to take those under moved body parts and pound the pavement or smash the weights. Not a good move unfortunately. You must transition wisely into new movements and exercise . Exercise is the invention of a sedentary society and while it’s a very useful tool none of us have time to exercise as much as we need. So lets start moving our bodies more in our non- exercise time. It’s easier than you think and will make your exercise time so much more beneficial.
Restorative Exercise is the brainchild of American biomechanist Katy Bowman. Katy has written extensively about how a lack of natural movement is significantly reducing our biological function. I recommend all my clients read her book ‘Move Your DNA’. Check out Katy’s website for more information.
This approach will help you understand that movement is a key ‘part’ of your anatomy, it will inspire you to move more and show you how easy it can be to increase your daily movement capabilities.
Get smart about how you move and move better before you move more.
