So what do I mean by natural movement and opportunistic exercise?

Well, this is all about inviting natural movement throughout the day without making a big fuss over it. Like it’s not a big event, it’s just how you live.

You’re adding movement to your everyday activities, or looking at how you can do your daily tasks in a way that makes them more active. When you become an opportunistic exerciser, you strengthen your chances of staying with it for the long-haul.

Even small amounts of physical activity can provide positive health benefits. While regular exercise is the best way to receive the health-promoting benefits of physical activity, it can often be a challenge to want to move or make time for a lengthy exercise routine. If you can’t make it into the gym or go running, that’s no reason for despair.

The best way to manage stress is to deal with it the very moment you feel it come up. Millions of Americans unsuccessfully use the binge-and-purge approach when it comes to stress.

They stress out all day, believing that they can wait until later to recover when they go to an evening yoga class, go to the gym, or chill out when they take the weekend off. Unfortunately, when we put off going for our own inner balance, our bodies have already activated the stress response, and it’s our health that suffers.
