There's a growing trend in the fitness industry regarding the way people view physical exercise. Movement is a mental health tool that helps people to connect mindfully to health and wellness without needing to focus on vanity metrics like weight loss. In today's episode, my guest is Barb Puzanovova, a non-diet trainer who is focused on inspiring people to rethink their relationship with exercise. During our conversation Barb shares why movement is about how you feel versus how you look, why it is important to remove the diet component of working out, what joyful movement is and how you can incorporate it in day to day moments and ways movement can improve your relationship with your mind and body. In this episode, we cover:
