All Movement Can Be Exercise
Exercise doesn’t need to be a chore.
To many people, the word “exercise” evokes images of sweating while running on a treadmill, getting shouted at by trainers while riding a stationary bike, or grunting as you lift weights to build muscle. For some, these images are empowering. For others they are painful.
