19. Embracing Movement

In this insightful episode of How to Lose the ‘WAIT” (formerly the  ‘Say When,’ podcast), Holly Toscanini invites you to reframe your entire understanding of exercise through the liberating lens of non-diet self-care. The focus here isn’t about sculpting the ‘perfect’ body—no, this conversation is about embracing movement as a joyful act of self-respect, love, and holistic well-being.

Let’s take the guilt and punishment out of the exercise equation once and for all. Holly guides you through the how-tos of setting empowering, clear-cut goals for physical activity that are all about you—your comfort, your joy, and your own personal benchmarks of success. Inclusive spaces for exercise are more than just a buzzword; they’re a non-negotiable for creating a safe and affirming environment where you can truly be yourself.

Don’t let a packed schedule hold you back. Discover how bite-sized bursts of movement can naturally weave into your day, enhancing both your physical and mental vitality. And hey, if you’re wondering where to start, Holly breaks down why a healthcare professional’s advice can be a valuable stepping stone on this journey.

But let’s not forget the soul-soothing balm of nature. Join Holly as she uncovers how the great outdoors can elevate your exercise regimen into a transformative experience of connection—both with the world around you and with yourself.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ditch the ‘exercise as punishment’ narrative; welcome movement as an authentic act of self-love and care.
  • The world is your playground! Connect with nature to amplify the joy and depth of your physical activities.
  • Exercise isn’t a one-size-fits-all; personalize your movement goals and seek spaces that celebrate you, just as you are.
  • Remember, self-care is holistic. Exercise is just one facet of it, and rest is its equally important counterpart.

Join Holly Toscanini on ‘Say When’ to shift the paradigm of what exercise can mean for you, freeing yourself from society’s limiting beliefs about body size and shape, and embracing a more fulfilling, self-affirming way to move through the world.
