Move Your Way – Build a Body That Feels Like Home
Here we are, Week Two. You’ve already taken those first important steps—literally and mentally—and now it’s time to build on that momentum.
This week’s challenge is simple, but it’s a game-changer: Move your way.
That means movement on your terms. Not what a fitness plan tells you to do. Not what Instagram says is best. But what feels right for you. Whether that’s five minutes of stretching or a 5k walk. Whether you’re dancing in the kitchen or parking a little further away and walking the rest of the way in. This isn’t about pushing yourself to exhaustion. It’s about reconnecting with the joy of moving your body.
For many of us, movement has been tangled up in punishment. Punishment for eating, for resting, for not looking a certain way. This week is your invitation to untangle that and choose movement because it feels good, not because you “should.”
Why it matters
Movement boosts your mood. It lifts your energy. It calms the nervous system and helps regulate appetite. And it’s one of the fastest ways to connect your brain and body—so they start working together instead of against each other.
This isn’t about burning calories or chasing a number. It’s about reminding your brain that movement is part of who you are. Part of how you care for yourself.
What to do
Each day, choose one form of movement that suits your energy, mood, and time. It doesn’t have to be big to count. In fact, the smaller and more realistic, the better—because that’s how habits form.
Need ideas? You could:
- Add 1,000 steps to your usual day
- Try a yoga video or stretch out with no agenda
- Walk to the shop instead of driving
- Do five squats while the kettle boils
- Try chair yogo
- Have a solo dance party in the living room
Whatever you choose, jot it down. Use the daily planner page to map out your week or simply log what you did each day. There’s something powerful about seeing your progress build.
Keep it up, together
Don’t forget to post your movement wins in the group. Every time you do, you’re not just encouraging yourself—you’re reminding someone else that they can do it too.
Some days might be stretching. Some might be walking. It’s not about the intensity—it’s about the intention.
So, how will you move your way today?
Let’s keep going. One step at a time.
Ready. Set. Summer.
