Description

An engaging guide for expanding your mind to get your body moving more

There are subtle, invisible, and powerful psychological barriers blocking you from getting the exercise and movement you need. Adding insult to injury, these same barriers contribute to you feeling bad or guilty when you fail to move as much as you know you “should.”

In this audiobook, psychologist Dr. Diana Hill and biomechanist Katy Bowman 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 into 44 everyday excuses we make for not moving. Diana responds to those common barriers with a clinician’s insight, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help listeners learn to cultivate psychological flexibility and align their actions with their values.

Whether you’re addicted to your phone, embarrassed by your appearance, or simply feeling too busy or stressed out, you will learn effective, self-compassionate ways to make meaningful and lasting change--and feel better in your body!
