If you’re like most people, you’ve probably experienced times in your life when you just couldn’t find the motivation to exercise. Whether it’s a lack of time or energy or dealing with feelings like embarrassment or body image issues, experiencing mental blocks that stop you from exercising is a common occurrence. On this episode of The Model Health Show, Dr. Diana Hill and Katy Bowman are here to discuss their new book, I Know I Should Exercise, But… Their book is a powerful guide to understanding the psychology of aligning your actions with your values. We’re going to discuss some of the most common roadblocks keeping people from adding movement into their day, and how to overcome them. You’re going to learn about the powerful principle of psychological flexibility, how to stack movement into your existing routines, and how to reframe some of the most common barriers that hold people back from moving their bodies. Changing the way you think about movement can add so much value, joy, and self-compassion into your life, and I hope that’s what you take away from this interview.
