In this episode I talk to Adrianne Finn, a certified SCOTT Pilates instructor, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Yoga Teacher, TRX and barre instructor. If that wasn’t enough she also has her degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and currently works at an eating disorder treatment center where she helps patients honor their body’s unique needs and develop a healthy relationship with movement.

In our last episode my intern Caitlyn and I answered your questions about Intuitive Movement and while we answered A LOT, we didn’t get to quite a few. One of the most-asked questions was does exercise have a place in eating disorder recovery? My hope is that you find some of the answers that you are looking for in today’s episode. That said, a general disclaimer that movement in eating disorder recovery is a highly individualized and nuanced topic so it is really important to work with your treatment team to determine what will work best for you.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Exercise in eating disorder recovery.
  • How Adrianne began working in an eating disorder treatment center.
  • The difference between being resistant or compulsive around movement.
  • Pelvic floor health.

In this episode Caitie and I answer listener questions about Intuitive Movement.

We answer the following questions:

  • What is intuitive movement?
  • How much movement do you actually need?
  • How do I reconcile the need for movement if I don’t want to do it?
  • What if you intuitively never want to move more than a short walk or activities of daily living (ie cooking, cleaning etc).
  • I want to exercise but finding actually doing it impossible. Where is the line between forcing myself to exercise until I break through the “blah” and find my motivation, and listening to my body?
  • What if you struggle with feeling like you NEED to workout everyday?
  • What if you can’t get over liking the way your body looks because of a certain workout?
  • How to train for a race and listen to your body at the same time?
  • How can you move intuitively if you are using a prescriptive strength training program to reach certain goals?
  • How can trainers teach intuitive movement?
