Summary

Best-selling author and biomechanist Katy Bowman returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, this time joined by clinical psychologist Diana Hill, to tackle one of the most relatable struggles of modern life: knowing we should move more, but feeling stuck in patterns that keep us sedentary. Their new book, I Know I Should Exercise, But..., explores 44 common reasons people don’t move—from time constraints to embarrassment to plain old exhaustion—and offers practical, mindset-shifting solutions to break through these barriers. In this engaging and eye-opening conversation, Ginny, Katy, and Diana dive into how movement can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, why our psychology plays a bigger role in exercise than we realize, and how embracing flexibility (both mentally and physically) is the key to lifelong movement. With humor, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking insights, this episode unpacks the hidden obstacles that keep us from moving and how to overcome them—without the guilt, pressure, or rigid expectations that often accompany fitness culture. From redefining exercise as something beyond the gym to embracing movement “snacks” throughout the day, this discussion will leave you feeling empowered to move in ways that truly work for you. Whether you’re struggling to find motivation, wrestling with comparison, or simply looking for new ways to incorporate movement into a busy life, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
