#46. Why kids aren’t moving: rethinking youth movement to make exercise fun again with Ajaye Hunn-Phillips

Why are kids moving less than ever before?

It’s easy to blame screens or modern life, but the reality is far more complex. Schools aren’t always prioritising PE, play spaces are disappearing and fear of failure is stopping many young people from even trying. When movement becomes a chore instead of something fun, kids opt out, and that can shape their relationship with exercise for life.

So how do we change the story? Ajaye Hunn-Phillips, co-founder of The Project PT, is passionate about making movement matter, having first-hand knowledge of the barriers young people face and what actually works to help them build confidence and joy in moving.

If you care about making movement more inclusive and enjoyable for kids, to last a lifetime, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
