Rethinking Exercise with ADHD (Part 1): Why You Struggle and How to Make It Easier

If you’ve ever been told that exercise will help your ADHD — but you still can’t seem to start, or stick with it, or even remember where your sneakers are ... this episode is for you.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’re diving into:

• Why movement is important for ADHD brains
• Why “just make a plan and stick to it” doesn’t work
• How small, spontaneous movement can still make a big difference
• And how to reframe how we think about movement movement

🔁 Don’t forget to catch Part 2 next week, where we’ll dig into how to choose intentional movement, build consistency without perfection, and navigate the emotional roadblocks that can make self-care feel impossible.
