40. Movement is Medicine! Why Exercise is the Answer to Your Stress, Anxiety, and Injury

Listen Later

How often have you been told to rest when you’re not feeling the best? What if that is actually doing more harm than good? Movement, not rest, might be the medicine you need.  

 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I have Tatiana, a New York City-based trainer who teaches her signature program ‘Move Better’.  She’s a dancer, cheerleader, volleyball player, and has been a coach since the age of 17. She spreads the importance of moving better and using movement as medicine. 

 

Listen in to learn why moving your body when injured is medicine and works better than just lying down.  

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Focusing on all the muscles and balances that are happening to your body through collective exercising. 
  • The difference between moving and moving better plus the importance of retraining the muscle for athletes.  
  • The lessons you learn from having an injury like why the rehabbed part of your body ends up being the stronger side of your body.  
  • How not to think about getting hurt when you go back to exercising after getting injured. 
  • Moving your body is medicine- why lying down for too long after an injury is going to do your body more harm than good. 
    • Finding a new routine after quarantine.
