Movement can have different meanings: getting somewhere, participating with others, enjoying an activity, or completing daily tasks. Your preferences, disability, pain, health guidance, and access all matter. This page supports a conversation rather than setting a required amount or intensity.
How to use this page
Choose an activity that interests you or a daily task you want support with. Do not test your limits or override existing advice.
Start with meaning and access
Name why the activity matters and what makes participation easier or harder, including cost, transport, environment, equipment, fatigue, or safety.
Prepare an appropriate question
If health concerns affect participation, ask a qualified professional what adaptations fit your situation. A next step may be obtaining information or assistance rather than increasing activity.
Reflection prompts
Use these questions in conversation, on paper, or in the downloaded PDF. You may adapt or skip a prompt.
What movement or daily activity would I like to explore, and why?
What health guidance, symptoms, or limitations need to be considered?
What access barrier or adaptation matters most?
What question or practical request would help me choose an appropriate next step?
Facilitator notes and adaptation
Do not prescribe intensity, progression, calorie targets, or movement as compensation for eating. Consider eating-disorder concerns, pain, disability, pregnancy, and post-exertional worsening. New or alarming symptoms require appropriate assessment; rest remains a legitimate need.
