Moving Your Body (fitness) should NEVER be about Weight Loss

Beyond A Dress Size with Dr. Ezinne Meribe

Episode Summary

On today’s episode, the focus is on demystifying fitness, pulling down every barrier that stops us from engaging in regular physical activity and shining more light on how you can actually enjoy MOVING YOUR BODY AKA #BODYMOVEMENT. My goal is that at the end of the episode

You will let go of the fear that stops you from incorporating body movement into your lifestyle.

You will realise that fitness isn't about a specific routine or method of moving your body

You will embrace moving your body fearlessly and without judgement.

You will choose movements that appeal to you and your current season, not because everybody is doing it, not because you are seeking anyone's approval.

You will move your body everyday because you love it not because you want to change your body or pay penance for what you ate yesterday.

That you will embrace moving your body and never ever let go

Favourite highlights

Remember, regular body movement will look different on everyone based on their body type & genetics.

Don't forget that most of the images you see and compare yourself with are professional images and may have been worked on for effect.

Moving your body should not be defined by the results you get or do not get. Just move because its a way of showing love to your body. Forget about results.

I am under no pressure to impress anyone with my body movement routines.

If my body jiggles and wiggles as I move/workout, that's OKAY. My body is moving and so are all the parts too.
For that - I AM THANKFUL

Joyful body movement does not have to be painful or tortuous to be effective

Joyful body movement does not require a gym, money, lots of fancy workout gear, a lot of space and certainly you do not need to have the ‘body’ for it.

We move our body because we love it not because we ate too much yesterday, not because we want to punish it and certainly not because we want to change our bodies.

You have permission to move your body and enjoy it
