A-Z of Movement

New PictureOur bodies are not made to be still.  Movement is important for us both on a physical level, to keep the body healthy and on an emotional level, to ensure a positive frame of mind. Gentle, regular movement is best, certainly at the beginning.

When the weather is good and the outdoors is inviting there are so many opportunities for keeping active.  As the weather gets cooler it is easier to stay indoors and get involved with other things, which is fine too; there are plenty fun indoor activities and there is a time for everything.  We do need to keep moving, though, so let’s add some creativity to our movement ideas and see how we can bring some of them inside or wrap up well and get out there.
