Summary
We discuss how to exercise in ways that are gentle, respectful to our nervous systems and that doesn't make us want to quit. We're detaching from the belief that workouts have to be set and rigid, and helping you rewrite the stories you currently hold about exercise. If you are a busy woman or mom struggling to incorporate exercise into your life, don't miss this episode.

| 0:06.0 | about exercise, specifically little tweaks and mindset shifts that make it so much easier. Stay tuned. |
| 0:15.4 | Hi, I'm Jen Riding, and this podcast is for women who want to feel more vibrant, happy, aligned, and alive. |
| 0:22.9 | You'll gain the emotional, physical, and spiritual tools you need to get your sparkle back |
| 0:28.0 | and ensure that depression, anxiety, and struggle don't rule your life. |
| 0:32.5 | Welcome to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast. |
| 0:36.0 | Hey, my friends. |
| 0:41.6 | So exercise, we know we want to do it. We need to do it. |
| 0:49.2 | We all have different reasons for doing it. Perhaps you do it to have a hot bod. Maybe you do it like me for mental health reasons or you just want to feel good. Maybe you do it to provide an example |

| 1:43.0 | create and build up so much pressure |
| 1:45.3 | that sometimes it's hard to start at all. So in this episode, Beth and I share what works for us, |
| 1:50.7 | especially as busy women and moms. I share some of my exercise journey, the things I have |
| 1:56.8 | loved in the past and how that's changing, the things I'm loving now. We talk about pelvic floor |
