info_outlineIn this episode Caitie and I answer listener questions about Intuitive Movement.
We answer the following questions:
- What is intuitive movement?
- How much movement do you actually need?
- How do I reconcile the need for movement if I don’t want to do it?
- What if you intuitively never want to move more than a short walk or activities of daily living (ie cooking, cleaning etc).
- I want to exercise but finding actually doing it impossible. Where is the line between forcing myself to exercise until I break through the “blah” and find my motivation, and listening to my body?
- What if you struggle with feeling like you NEED to workout everyday?
- What if you can’t get over liking the way your body looks because of a certain workout?
- How to train for a race and listen to your body at the same time?
- How can you move intuitively if you are using a prescriptive strength training program to reach certain goals?
- How can trainers teach intuitive movement?
