Episode 6: Health
What we need to be Healthy: clarity, openness, willingness, knowing, individuality, investment.
This week we discuss what a movement practice for health looks like, what real food and soil is, how to identify real food, the principles of detoxification, and how to start building your own programming for a healthy lifestyle.
Show Notes:
EDIT: At one point in our episode this week I mention 3 ways to introduce more movement for health and accidentally only explain two. The Lifetime Stair Climb Challenge I mention but forget to explain is simple: Climb stairs two at a time every time you encounter stairs starting now for the rest of your life. Unless you are super, super sore from training or adventure. This has the potential to increase the health span by greatly reducing fall and fracture risk over the course of decades. It strengthens your core, balance, legs, and feet increasing both stability and mobility of your hips, knees, and ankles. Most importantly it increases strength, stability, and proprioception through a broad range of motion that we need more of in our lives in order to carry functional movement further into the lifespan.
