Health at Every Size is not the claim that every person is healthy at every size. It is the principle that everyone, regardless of their current size, deserves access to respectful, evidence-based care and the right to pursue health-promoting behaviors.

This means:

Traditional wellness says: "I ate a big meal; I have to run 5 miles to burn it off." Body positive wellness says: "I am stressed; a 20-minute dance party in my living room will make me feel electric." Health at Every Size is not the claim

Movement becomes a celebration of what your body can do, not a critique of how it looks. You might try rock climbing, swimming, yoga, or simply walking while listening to a podcast.
