The ART of JOYFUL MOVEMENT

This exercise philosophy won't just get your blood pumping, but will get joy going too!

The joyful movement trend is all about shifting the often awful relationship we have with exercising to one that is sure to provide both pleasure and progress when it comes to health and fitness.

Its aim is to slash the idea that exercising isn't meant to be fun.

If you're doing joyful movements, you are exercising for the positive aspects involved such as improving your mood, energy levels, health and strength. But you're not excluding the feeling of exercising that comes with it. The name says it perfectly - it's the philosophy that we should focus more on moving in ways that instil joy and health all at once. Choice is key when it comes to this trend. There's absolutely no right or wrong exercise - as long as you're enjoying what you do. At the core of it all, joyful movement is good for both your mental and physical health - it's the best of both worlds.
