A Masterclass On Movement & Mobility

Movement is inherent to our nature.

It’s not a chore, a box to tick, or an obligation—we’re born to physically connect with the world around us in whatever capacity we can.

From walking, swimming, and dancing with friends to playing a pickup game of basketball, the options for meaningful movement are limitless. And the best part? It doesn’t have to feel like work. Movement can be playful, deeply enjoyable–even meditative, and comes with a litany of downstream benefits from improved sleep and physical stability to longevity.

The eighth in our ongoing series of deep dives into the podcast canon, in today’s masterclass you’ll learn how to start a movement practice, the importance of mobility exercises, proper running and walking techniques, how to maintain and even improve your mobility as you age, pre and post-natal fitness, how to set and achieve your movement goals, and more.

When we embrace movement, even in the smallest ways, we open the door to a world of possibilities. In my case, a walk led to a run which led to ultra-endurance racing and ultimately, to an entirely new life altogether. As I say relentlessly on this show, mood follows action. You cannot think your way into anything—you can only do something about it.
