Send us a text Fitness: Moving in a Way That Feels GoodLet’s be honest, fitness has been hijacked. It’s been sold as hustle, calories and the “no pain, no gain” mindset, however, this isn’t the full story. This week on The GA Wellness Podcast, we’re stepping into the last pillar of the HNSF Method, reclaiming fitness and movement as medicine. Think of this as beautiful and joyful moments that lift your mood, settle your nervous system and remind you that your body was made to move with freedom.If you tuned in last week, you’ll notice how beautifully this builds on our guided meditation, because when you move from a place of calm, every step, stretch and dance becomes a love note to your body.📋 What we covered:Why I prefer to talk about movement over “fitness” and how language shapes the way we feel.My early story as a 19 year old fitness instructor, the highs, the joy and the crash into burnout.How movement connects back to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and why it belongs at the top, not the base.What happens when you push through workouts without proper hydration, nourishment or rest.The science of exercise and the nervous system: HPA axis stress, Yin vs Yang balance and why depletion changes how movement feels.The shift that happens when your foundations are in place: movement becomes medicine, joy and play.Real life ways to weave joyful movement into busy days, from 20 minutes before dinner to dancing while the pasta boils.Why community and connection amplify movement and how this seeded my group coaching program.This week’s gentle challenge: 20 minutes of joyful, intentional movement each day, broken up or all at once, whatever works for you.🌟 Key takeaways:Fitness isn’t about punishment or “earning” rest, it’s about joyful movement that supports your whole self.When you’re undernourished or stretched thin, intense exercise can add to your stress load instead of helping.Hydration, nutrition and self-care are the foundation that allow fitness to feel good and energising.Movement is medicine, it can regulate your nervous system, lift your mood and restore balance.You don’t need hours at the gym, sprinkling pockets of movement through your day counts.Movement becomes more powerful in community, when shared and celebrated with others.🧰 Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Journal Prompt & Reflection: ✨Your Weekly Cuppa & Check-In #05 ☕https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/fitnessJoin the Facebook Community: The Balanced Bella Community 🌿https://www.facebook.com/groups/1465025104488400/Subscribe for Podcast Emails: Join the “Cuppa & Check-In” List https://gawellness.myflodesk.com/lbuqngf📱 Let’s Connect: Instagram: @gawellness https://www.instagram.com/gawellness/ Facebook Group: The Balanced Bella Community 🌿 Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1465025104488400/ Website: Coming soon! 🔔 Follow & Review: If this episode spoke to you, lovely, please: Follow the podcast.
