Movement that the body enjoys and can respond to positively is not always the same as movement that is exercise or the same as movement that has an endpoint and is goal-directed. Movement as exercise is typically an end-directed movement and often one that is goal driven. Movement can be anything and everything from a gentle stroll to dancing freely to going fit dancing and can help to bring about a positive response from the body as well.
The body can relax and calm the body’s stress response and can promote balance throughout the body. Movement is anything that is not about exercise and about calm and gentle movement that supports and nourishes.
In addition to fitness and goal-directed movement, positive movement includes everything and anything that is free and spontaneous as well as calm.
Movement as Regulation, Not Just Activity
Hormonal balance is an aspect of good health that is about managing and balancing stress, as well as periods of good rest and recovery. Imbalances can occur as a result of prolonged periods of sedentary behavior and this can include prolonged daytime sedentary behavior and as a result of sedentary behavior during the daytime hours of work.

Movement and the Nervous System
Energy can be stress. Hormone stress response is a way to regulate, but movement is also a way to regulate.

A Focus on Practicing Healthier Habits
Intensive repetitive workouts can be stressful and tiring on the body. Having a workout routine that might be more "sustainable" can be more beneficial.
It might benefit you more to find a healthier way to building strength, practicing mobility, self awareness, all keeping in mind that you want a practice that is not overwhelming.
This might be more helpful depending on the body changes you are going through, either positive or negative, changes cause stress and hormonal shifts, or body changes caused by recovery.
Creating a Habit
Consistency is a benefit that is often underappreciated. For a long term positive impact, small and consistent workouts are better than a workout that will cause havoc to your body.
Your body will do better with either a stretch or flow, because it will create a rhythm.
