Reclaiming Movement Opportunities
There's no way around it: more stuff means more sedentarism.
Products of convenience move on our behalf, and our kids are moving their bodies less than any other generation in human history. Our culture–and the items the market produces to support our ways of life—dissuade self-sufficiency, and so creating a movement-rich life for our health and for the planet's may often feel like an uphill battle.
This week I speak with author and biomechanist Katy Bowman. Katy offers tangible ways to reclaim the movement opportunities that have been lost to the conveniences associated with modern living.
Here's a preview:
[7:30] The relationship between carbon footprints, pleasure, and movement lost
[16:00] How to become more tolerant of movement in the house
[19:15] Ways to engage kids who don't consider themselves "outdoorsy"
[22:45] Multitasking versus stacking: What's the difference (and why does it matter?)
[25:20] 2 steps listeners can take right now to reclaim movement opportunities that have been lost to convenience
