I Know I Should Exercise, But...: 44 Reasons We Don't Move and How to Get Over Them
I KNOW I SHOULD EXERCISE BUT
內容簡介
"I really appreciate this book...There is something in here for
everyone." -Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent on Chasing Life
"The most insightful guide to getting moving I've ever read." --Kelly McGonigal, author of The Joy of Movement
"If you've ever felt stuck on the sidelines of your own wellness journey, this might be the most validating, actionable, and life-giving book you pick up this year."--Kelly and Juliet Starrett, authors of Built to Move
Break down the common everyday mental blocks to moving your body, and turn your mind from an adversary into an ally in the quest to feel better in your body.
"I know I should move my body more, but...
- I'm on my feet all day for work and I'm exhausted!"
- I'm addicted to my phone."
- I'm great at starting movement programs, just lousy at sticking with them."
- My body jiggles and embarrasses me in public."
- Movement is sooooo boring!"
Sound familiar? If not, it probably means you have another perfectly good excuse of your own. We all have our reasons for not getting the physical activity we know is good for us--reasons which stubbornly defy the same old tired prescriptive advice about hours of weekly cardio or numbers of steps. Adding insult to injury, these same excuses contribute to you feeling bad or guilty when you fail to move as much as you know you "should."
That's why Diana Hill and Katy Bowman have put together this simple guide to changing the way you think to change how much you move.
Diana is a modern psychologist, expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and host of the Wise Effort podcast. Her mission is to help her clients and readers grow the psychological flexibility needed to get moving in directions that matter to them. Katy is a biomechanist, author, and trailblazing movement teacher who has spent a career helping people integrate more movement into their lives. In I Know I Should Exercise, But..., the two join forces to help you challenge your barriers to movement in a new way. Katy translates her understanding of the obstacles that keep people sedentary--including dozens of real-world examples from readers and clients--into 44 essential impediments to movement. Diana responds to those common barriers, while introducing you to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavioral psychology, and self-compassion: evidence-based-approaches for cultivating flexibility and aligning actions with values.
Whether your internal barrier is born of fear, malaise, inertia, embarrassment, or difficulty managing competing priorities, you will learn how to disempower it by applying effective science-based tools for changing the way you think.
You'll learn to identify your resistance--whether it's an unhelpful thought, a misplaced motivation, or a contextual barrier--and respond wisely and effectively, using tools and techniques that can be applied to other areas of your life as well, including:
- urge surfing
- motivational interviewing
- behavioral stretching
- strengthening your acceptance muscle
This is a must-have book for anyone struggling with the mental barriers to moving more and an essential resource for personal trainers, fitness instructors, and mental health professionals wanting to better connect with their clients.
Stretch your mind, connect with what is truly important to you, and stop talking yourself out of the movement you need!
