A really fun read. I've not read anything like this before before. It's very motivating and gospel centered. I love the snippets of science in it as well. Definitely motivates me to be more physically active for the right reasons. :)

Kasey’s approach connects our fitness journey with our identity in Christ in a refreshing and empowering way.
As far as I know this is the ONLY book that approaches the intuitive eating principle “Exercise – Feel the Difference” (aka joyful movement) from a faith-based perspective. It’s an intuitive training approach to pursue God in fitness and find happiness.
This book is more of a tool than a simple read. You use Kasey’s quiz to assess which type of exerciser you are and then take a deep dive into the motivators, struggles and strategies of that type so you can begin to heal your relationship with exercise and find joy in moving your body again.

February 20, 2020In Move for Joy, Kasey comes alongside the reader with her characteristic kindness, enthusiasm, and hard-won personal training tools to encourage and build up. From the foundation of God's lovingkindness and care, she provides a framework to discover which of five different ways of viewing fitness the reader might fall into, and then introduces different ways to motivate the reader to find creative and honoring ways to incorporate movement (not always traditional "fitness" or "exercise" - yay!) into daily life.

If you exercise but trying to find your groove or if you are just beginning and don’t know where to start this is fantastic. Encompassing faith and fitness, this is a must read and such an encouragement to take it at your own pace!

Somewhat bizarre theology sprinkled through out and it seemed hard to follow the authors thinking in each chapter. I appreciate the message of seeking joy through movement though!

I really appreciated this refreshing, faith-based approach to movement that felt like a weight lifted OFF of me.

If you're looking for a way to relate your faith to fitness & ultimately find deeper satisfaction in your workouts you'll love this book!
Author Kasey Shuler draws biblical parallels between the rewards of faith and the rewards of exercise that I had never considered before. Move For Joy helped me see the relationship between my faith and my exercise practice -- 2 very important parts of life, that typically feel detached. The book also helped me learn how to set goals, where the intention is JOY! In the past I have overlooked joy as an objective because it felt immature or made me feel guilty; but Kasey describes out how Jesus actually models this for us on his journey to the cross. There is also a fun quiz included, that helped me understand more about what type(s) of exercise/movement will be most fulfilling for me. It's fun and insightful to have friends/family take the quiz too and discuss the results -- much like discussing enneagram types! Overall, Move For Joy helped shift my perspective on my body image, exercise routines and goals in a positive way! Highly recommend!

Good, in theory. Some very practical helps. But I have such a hard time with the way some Christian women write today...I can’t really put my finger on why some phrases she used just rankled....not a bad book at all, just not my style.
