Listening to Your Body: Rethinking Movement and Exercise
In this episode of 'Master Stress with Dr. S,' we dive into a new paradigm of movement and exercise, exploring how to align physical activity with the body’s natural rhythms and needs. Dr. S examines the neurobiological aspects of movement, emphasizing the importance of tuning into the nervous system and adapting exercise routines accordingly. The discussion touches on the harmful effects of mismatched high-intensity training, the gender-specific considerations for exercise regimes, and the need for flexibility and variety in workouts. By re-evaluating traditional beliefs about exercise, this episode encourages listeners to view movement as a form of self-care and long-term health investment, rather than merely a weight-loss tool.
