Habit 93: Move Smarter, Not Harder with Alexandra Ellis
You don’t have to push harder to feel better. In this conversation with movement educator and self-proclaimed Body Nerd Alex Ellis, we explore how rethinking movement can relieve pain, support autoimmune health, and make strength training actually doable—even when you're dealing with fatigue, hypermobility, or injuries. From therapy balls to lazy-boy squats, we cover simple, science-backed ways to move your body differently—and feel better doing it.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why more stretching isn’t always better—and what to do instead
- How hypermobility and pain are connected (and what is often missed)
- The surprising benefits of strength training for autoimmune health
- Why small, gentle movements can be just as powerful as workouts
- How to use therapy balls for pain relief, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation
- The difference between good pain and bad pain—and how to tune into your body’s whispers
- What it really means to “maintain your body”
DO of the DAY:
Pick one new movement to try today. Reach up every time you walk through a doorway. Or try standing from your chair without using your hands. Or roll a tennis ball under your foot while you work. One tiny action counts toward maintaining your body—and feeling better.
