The Exercise Paradox: When More Movement Isn't Better

Easier Movement, Happier Dogs

Discover why exercise might be reinforcing harmful movement patterns in both you and your dog. Learn how to transform regular activities into healing opportunities through movement awareness, and unlock the secret to more effective, mindful exercise routines that benefit both ends of the leash.

Mary introduces the concept of "movement awareness" as a crucial component of healthy exercise, teaching listeners how to identify and address these patterns through curiosity rather than correction. She provides actionable strategies for transforming routine activities, like dog walks, into opportunities for healing and improved movement patterns.

The episode offers valuable insights into:

• How to recognize when exercise is reinforcing harmful patterns
• The importance of varying terrain and pace during dog walks
• Practical tips for bringing awareness to movement
• Ways to change unconscious movement habits
• The connection between human and dog movement patterns
