What is intuitive movement? The 9 principles of intuitive exercise you should know

By Chloe Gray

Updated 5 years ago

Intuitive exercise principles are set to be huge in 2021, but what is the intuitive movement?

Tally Rye has made it her mission to spread the message of sustainable, inclusive and, most importantly, enjoyable exercise far and wide. She’s done a pretty good job so far, writing a book, Train Happy, on the concept and sharing her health first fitness attitude to over 100,000 followers on social media. 

Her MO is that we should be tapping into our brains and our bodies rather than society’s rules: “The goal of intuitive movement is to rebuild trust with your body that has been eroded by diet culture,” says the trainer and member of the Strong Women Collective.

It all began for her after finding out about intuitive eating, learning how to fuel ourselves by getting rid of diet culture. “I was really interested in how those principles apply to how we relate to exercise, so that’s what I did in my book,” Tally explains.
