Ep 13 Hypermobility and Fitness: 6 Essential Rules I Wish I Knew Sooner

Exercising if you're hypermobile isn't easy.

Join me on today’s episode as I reflect on my personal fitness journey and share with you 6 insights I wish I had known about hypermobility and exercise decades ago. I still use these rules both for myself and with my patients, and I hope that you find them helpful on your journey too!

TODAY YOU'LL LEARN👇

1. Why there is (for the most part) no such thing as an exercise that is inherently “good” or “bad” for hypermobility
2. Why happiness matters when developing an effective exercise strategy
3. Why you might want to think about Overtraining Syndrome and how it relates to your hypermobile body
