You may associate working out with a whole lot of huffing, puffing and sweating, but there is a new trend called “gentle movement,” and it has its own set of health benefits. Holistic therapist Jenny Flora Wells explains “Gentle movement helps us reconnect with a slower pace in a world that’s constantly moving at a very fast pace.” It includes practices like yoga, Pilates, walking, meditation, and even gardening — essentially, any activity that allows you to slow down and foster a stronger mind-body connection.
I offer you an even better solution. In Association with Professor Harold Hill, star of The Music Man, I have adapted his “Think System” from learning to play an instrument to getting your daily exercise. You can join the wave of devotees to No Movement by merely thinking about strenuous physical activity. While sitting, or better yet reclining, think High Intensity Interval Training, your brain will assume the exercise is done and you will get the same benefit as if you had actually gone through the motions.
Sit down, put your feet up, relax and get fit! I don’t make this stuff up, it’s science!
