Episode notes
Choose Joyful Movement
- Choose movement that brings you joy instead of following trends or other people's routines.
- When exercise feels enjoyable it becomes sustainable and motivation follows naturally.
Make Short Sessions Count
- Prioritise short, regular movement rather than waiting for long sessions you used to do before motherhood.
- Even 10–15 minutes of Pilates or a walk will boost energy and mental clarity and is better than nothing.
