Personal Trainer and Broadcaster Tally Rye is one of the key figures in the global intuitive fitness movement.

In her first book, Train Happy she encouraged us to change the way we think about exercise, teaching readers to approach movement with a mindset of self-care rather than self-punishment and in doing so to rediscover the joy in eating and moving more mindfully.

In The Train Happy Journal, Tally builds upon the core principles of intuitive movement from self-care, body acceptance and body positivity to intuitive eating with interactive exercises and journal prompts to help readers reflect upon their relationship with fitness, think about how it has been influenced by Diet Culture and ultimately get them feeling good about moving their body.

The journal is interwoven with colourful illustration and expert advice as well as inspiring quotes and testimonies from a cross section of representational voices – with room for the reader to document the inner work intrinsic to a successful intuitive movement journey.

My Review

I’ve read through this journal and I’m working through it with reference to my current exercise plan and also in reference to my past exercise routines. I like the pages looking at why I exercise and the thoughts I have around it. I am finding it useful. The book recaps some of the material in Train Happy, in less detail. I preferred this journal to the main book; I think it is more useful.
