episode 142: can movement (not exercise!) change your negative body image?
Today’s episode of The Diet Diaries takes me back to my roots in teaching yoga and movement. One of the very first episodes of this podcast (when it was called The Movement Diaries!!) was about the difference between movement and exercise.
And almost 3 years later, I’m talking about that same topic again, but with a slightly different spin, through the lens of body image and how to improve body confidence.
My hope is that by the end of this episode you will be rethinking the role of movement and exercise in your life and how you can start paying attention to ways you can use your body more throughout the day—for your overall health AND as a tangible way to change your negative body image.
