How modern moving is ageing us - with Katy Bowman

“Movement is a giant circle of a diagram, it’s any time
you change the shape of your body or even the tissues within your
body. Exercise is a specific type of movement… you do it to a
mode, or a specific time frame… I am just trying to get people to
think differently as we are so sedentary culturally that to
exercise every day seems like a tone of movement… but we really
require a tremendous amount more than just 1 hour a day and it
really needs to be distributed better throughout the
day.”


Why you might ask is this necessary?


To be able to use our bodies in the future! To be physically fit
enough to be able to do the tasks we do now in the future.
“You have to water your garden so it continues to
produce”, by continuously moving in different dynamic
ways throughout the day “you nourish your
tissues”.


This week we had the pleasure of speaking to bio-mechanist Katy
Bowman, bestselling author, speaker, and a leader in the Movement
movement. Katy is changing the way we move and think about our
need for movement. 


Katy’s eight books, include the groundbreaking Move Your DNA,
have been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide.
Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and
human movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. She
has worked with companies like Patagonia, Nike, and Google as
well as a wide range of non-profits and other communities,
sharing her “move more, move more body parts, move more for what
you need” message. Her movement education company, Nutritious
Movement, is based in Washington State, where she lives with her
family.


And to honour this weeks guest, Vivo have granted our
listeners a 20% discount on their footwear! 25% of our
muscles are from our ankles down, there are more nerve endings
per square centimeter in the foot than any other part of the
body, and yet we bind them and put a thick sole under them so
they feel nothing.


Vivo footwear is part of the solution! Designed wide to provide
natural stability, thin to enable you to feel more, and flexible
to help you build your natural strength from the ground up.
Studies show that foot strength increases by 60% in a
matter of months just by walking around in them.


We have been wearing Vivo’s for the last 5 years when we first
discovered the importance of foot strength and flexibility! We
highly recommend Vivo’s and if you try them and don’t like them,
they have a100-day free trail so you can return them and get your
money back!

discount!

Lots of Love,


Dave and Steve
