En el sector se ha desarrollado una cultura en la que el ejercicio se ha convertido en un castigo por no ser suficiente; por no estar lo suficientemente en forma, lo suficientemente fuerte, lo suficientemente delgado, lo suficientemente sexy, lo suficientemente peque\u00f1o, lo suficientemente grande... la lista es interminable y agotadora.\n \nEs hora de cambiar la narrativa. Si eres una de las muchas personas que se tragan el mensaje que intoxica la industria del fitness, es hora de reconocer que eres suficiente. Es hora de centrarse en la alegr\u00eda del movimiento y en la incre\u00edble recompensa que se obtiene tanto durante como despu\u00e9s del ejercicio.Porque el movimiento nos hace intr\u00ednsecamente personas m\u00e1s felices.No se puede negar que el ejercicio ayuda a reducir los sentimientos de ansiedad y depresi\u00f3n a la vez que aumenta los patrones de pensamiento positivo y la energ\u00eda en general gracias a la liberaci\u00f3n de serotonina, nuestra hormona natural de la \u201cfelicidad\u201d. Esto deber\u00eda ser motivo suficiente para considerar el ejercicio como una recompensa: nuestros cuerpos est\u00e1n hechos para moverse y prosperar cuando estamos activos.\n\u00a0\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"articleslider\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/puma-fitness-the-joy-of-movement\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">leer la historia<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hideinprint\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"nodesktop\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br\/><br\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"teaser3inner\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hideinprint\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rowArticleItem articleTeaser\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma teaserVertImg scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/home-workout\/\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    id=\"27049\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     style=\"height:200px;width:200px;;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Woman doing gym at home\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ActiveatHome_H-1.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"innerpadd\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sportstyle\/\" class=\"secondary2\">Sportstyle<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <h4>Trucos para entrenar en casa<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        Puede que la marea est\u00e9 cambiando y que las puertas vuelvan a abrirse poco a poco, pero muchos siguen dudando si volver directamente al gimnasio.
