Your Chores Count: The Science of Everyday Movement with Physiotherapy Researcher Sunaina Chopra

What if the workout you've been skipping credit for has been happening all along? Physiotherapy and PhD student Sunaina Chopra from the University of British Columbia breaks down the science behind non-conventional physical activity, and the research will genuinely surprise you. From gardening studies published in The Lancet to findings that show housework is just as effective as traditional exercise, this episode will completely shift the way you think about what "counts" as movement, and give you permission to stop waiting for the perfect workout.Ashley reacts to Sunaina's voice note with her signature energy, challenging listeners to do a personal movement audit and find the small, sneaky ways to layer more activity into the life they're already living. Whether you're a gym devotee or someone who can barely find 20 minutes, this one is for you.Follow Sunaina online:– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chopra-sunaina/ – Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sunainamoudgill.bsky.social – Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therehabsisters/ Want to share your story or give feedback on the show?
