Movement

Getting regular movement and having an active lifestyle is one of the most important and effective tools in improving our overall wellbeing. And when it comes to movement, getting your nutrition right is the ultimate workout partner. From fuelling your best performance, reducing the risk of injury, or maximising recovery time, the food we eat has a crucial role to play.

Movement is one of Enrich’s core pillars, not just for shaping our bodies, but for supporting overall wellbeing. Too often, exercise can be framed as solely a way to sculpt our body, or to ‘make up’ for something we feel we should not have eaten. However, there is much more to movement than this hard, punitive approach. At Enrich, we encourage making movement a natural, enjoyable part of everyday life - not just a workout, but walking more, stretching, or simply staying active - as true health comes from building habits that support ease, freedom, and longevity in our bodies.

Committing to a regular habit of moving your body is one of the best things you can do for your health, both in body and mind. The key is to shift our thinking about exercise from workouts, to simply moving more in our everyday lives. Building a life where you can move freely in your body, with ease, allows you to keep doing whatever it is that you love, for as long as possible.

Here at Enrich, we’ve spoken a lot about the benefits that can come from incorporating movement into your life. Our bodies are designed to move, with a whole host of mental and physical health improvements coming alongside. Our wellness pillar Joyful Movement is movement reimagined, so that it can become a source of pleasure, a way to take time for yourself and connect with your body. Engaging in regular movement can help with stress management, improved sleep, and community building.

Our Enrich theme for the month is Open. Can you open your mind and consider a fresh perspective and a new way of thinking about exercise? We are asking you to reframe previous experiences and consider how can movement add to your life. Connecting with nature and fresh air is a fantastic way to get movement into your day, as well as creating a host of other health benefits which can really add to our overall wellbeing.

Why exercise and any sort of movement is known to benefit your physical health, research has begun to suggest that it also benefits your mental, emotional, and social health too.
