Episode #37. Small steps, big changes: Inspiring movement for 2025 that fits your life
Kick off 2025 with inspiration from our special 1 year anniversary, New Year compilation episode of Make Movement Matter!
We’ve gathered highlights from nine inspiring guests who remind us that movement isn’t about perfection or pressure, it’s about joy, exploration and finding what works for you. From wiggle breaks, or exercise snacking, or movement as play, these clips showcase how simple, small changes can make a big impact on your well-being.
From mindful walks and gardening to rediscovering the freedom of moving like a child, there’s something here for everyone. Let these powerful voices inspire you to see movement differently this year, not as a chore, but as an opportunity to feel good and live better.
Listen and take the first step towards a healthier, happier you by making movement matter, together.

More about your host, Wendy
Wendy (50) founded Reclaim Movement after a running injury at 40 turned into 4 years of chronic pain. In her search for answers and to reclaim her own movement again she discovered natural movement. The philosophy of training real life practical movements to be able to keep using them as we age, coupled with the benefit of using strengthening and mobilising whole-body movement patterns that are underused in today’s modern world made her realise she had found a way to move for life.
Wendy’s aim is to help people embrace a movement-rich life, at any age, to improve mobility, strength and confidence to keep moving well and doing the things they love for as long as they want.
MovNat Level 1 certified & Functional Range Conditioning certified, she coaches online group classes live & by replay in the Reclaim Movement membership as well as online and in-person private coaching in Oxford.
