Reintroducing Healthy Movement into Daily Life cover

This book provides a research-based, user-friendly, practical guide on how to reintroduce movement into our daily lives.

Presenting a rationale for the value of movement to all humans, the book explains why and where movement-based approaches and activities may be used to combat daily stress and promote good mental and physical health. Chapters provide simple short and easy-to-use ideas and activities, drawing on the authors’ combined experience as teachers, coaches, facilitators and therapists. Ideas presented will be applicable to a range of professions and settings such as stay-at-home parents, workers in a factory, shop, or office, or professionals in high stress sedentary jobs.

Reintroducing Movement into Daily Life will be of value to any individual wishing to improve their own health. It also provides guidelines and ideas for professionals working in educational, healthcare and other settings to use with their students/ patients/ clients.

‘It’s been a pleasure to read this book and have found it to be an immense resource for work with clients, teaching, in my practice with seniors, and personally. Bernie and Glenys have provided great examples of the benefits of incorporating movement into healthier active lifestyles. Their detailed descriptions of exercises gave me an easy to implement roadmap to get off the couch and get moving!’
