Joy in Motion — Moving for Hope, Connection and Courage

The Problem

"Exercise is usually sold as a duty: burn calories, hit targets, try harder. Many people stop, or never start. Yet movement can be one of the most reliable sources of good feeling, belonging, hope and courage we have."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For anyone, at any age and any ability: people who love to move, people who stopped, and people who never felt at home in sport. The shared why behind the WalkWell4Life, RunWell4Life and GolfWell4Life courses, and a sister course to Brave Joy.

Most of what we hear about exercise is about weight, fitness and willpower. A companion to Kelly McGonigal's The Joy of Movement, this course is about something else: why moving can feel good, how it connects people, and how it builds hope and courage. A walk, a wheel around the block, a dance in your kitchen or a stretch on the stoep all count, as far as you are able.
