Ep. 231: Kelly and Juliet Starrett - Can You Get Yourself Off the Floor? Master the Essential Habits to Move Freely and Live Fully

PLANTSTRONG Podcast

Mastering the ten essential habits to help you move freely and live fully starts from the ground up. Literally.

If you’re having trouble with movement and mobility, know that it's not your fault. Our modern-day society has conditioned our bodies to become more inflexible, especially as we age. We sit at desks, on our couches, in cars. We hover over screens and laptops. Our bodies are losing the ability to move freely, but we can combat this.

Kelly and Juliet Starrett share their physical practices designed to improve the way your body feels and boost your quality of life, no matter your age.

The Starretts are the experts on movement and their latest book, Built to Move, highlights ten habits, assessments, and practices to make your body work better for you. The good news? None of them require heavy weights or a gym membership.

Juliet and Kelly share ways to integrate more movement into your daily life right at home, as well as advice and practices to improve sleep, nutrition, and even breathing.

After all, being fit isn’t necessarily about being the fastest or the strongest. It is, however, about being able to move freely and without pain. It is about building “durability,” as you’ll hear today.

Through their company, The Ready State, Kelly and Juliet bring movement and mobility practices to some of the most elite athletes on the planet, but this book and interview bring those practices right to you.
