146 Joyful Movement with Barb Puzanovova: Why Weight Loss isn’t the Best Reason to Exercise


Listen Later

Movement brings me joy - but I realize it's not the same experience for everyone.

Maybe you're struggling because of an injury or pain.

Or maybe, moving your body has become inextricably linked with a goal of weight loss (which has zapped all the fun from it).

You're allowed to enjoy movement and my guest today knows all about that!

I'm joined by Barb Puzanovova, aka The Non-Diet Trainer who is a Health at Every Size, weight-neutral, and inclusive ACE-certified Personal Trainer, Behavior Change Specialist, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

Due to her own story of recovering from an eating disorder, she empowers people to step off the scale and into their life so they can move their body with less rules and more joy.

And you know I'm all about having more fun 🥳

You’ll learn:

  • What joyful movement is and how to incorporate it into your life
  • How to stop exercising for weight loss
  • And how to start your own joyful movement practice
