"3 Breaths, 7 Minutes" Exercise (optional: use a timer for each)
1. Long Deep Breathing: Slowly inhale and exhale through the nose, breathing up into the belly, chest, neck and head, and then back down. The exhale will be longer, allowing for a deeper inhale. The breath deepens immediately, engaging the Parasympathetic Nervous System to lower blood pressure, and slow the heart rate. (3 minutes)
2. Left Nostril Breathing: Block off the right nostril and do Long Deep Breathing in/out of the left side. This breath downshifts us into extra deep calm, to access the peaceful power that prepares us for stress. Perfect in advance of a situational stressor, or to advance a deeper level of calm anytime. (2 minutes)
3. Warrior Breath: Inhale through the nose for four seconds, hold for four, exhale through the mouth for five. Gently pull in the abs and hold the breath out for three. That's one round. Do six rounds. (2 minutes).

Sam Whiteside has the best job in the world. On her first day as Chief Wellness Officer at The Motley Fool, she pushed around a beer cart, offering beverages to employees.
"Aren't you the new wellness person?" people asked.
"Yes."
In her tenure with The Motley Fool, Sam has helped build one of the nation's healthiest workplaces. She genuinely cares about her coworkers, provides a positive atmosphere, and keeps almost 100% of the firm's employees engaged in wellness. There are no outdated health risk assessments, no "get-rich-quick" fitness tips, and no enticing incentives (except, you know, a beer here and there).

Natalie Evans has been working for herself for 18 years. As a childbirth educator, birth doula, and wild foods instructor, she has taken a firm stance on being "natural". She forages for in-season foods; she uses no furniture; she sleeps on a mattress on the floor. All of this fascinates me.
In this episode (first live one!), we cover a lot of topics including: Natalie's background and introduction into natural movement; ways to get more movement when working a desk job; and how to reclaim your play.
Key Points:
Self-care is not selfish
Keep your head happy and your feet happy
When stuck in one position (i.e. sitting at a desk), ask yourself, What could I use today? Maybe it's walking, hanging, crawling, stretching your hips
I hope you enjoy!

I've done a lot of weird things for movement. From sleeping on my floor to holding 10-minute deep squats, I'm always finding new ways to see how my body can move. And to me, that's play. It's whatever you make it. It's experimenting, falling, and learning from all the new things you try.
Matt Myers is at the forefront of the "Play" movement, and wants to get his clients (and people like you!) to unleash the power of play. His work, his podcast, and his e-Book "Play Full" have helped me reclaim my childlike approach to movement and see that exercise can and should be fun.
We talk about Matt's background, from living in Japan, to his current work in Bloomington, IN. We also have a little "consulting" chat on my tactics as a trainer, and how I can get my clients to play more.

**Republished interview from March 2018**
Travis Pollen is a doctoral student at Drexel University, but is better known under his moniker "The Fitness Pollenator" Like everyone else I've talked with, Travis is much smarter than me. He posts research-based content that is fun, challenging, and makes you want to get back into the gym.
In this episode we cover Travis's work inside collegiate athletic departments, why everyone (yes, you!) should train for power, and why there are no bad movements in the gym...

**Reposted episode, recorded September 2017**
Can hanging from a tree branch make you stronger? Can putting your plates on a lower shelf re-shape your biology? Are bicep curls functional?
Galina Denzel is the co-author of the phenomenal "Eat Well, Move Well, Live Well: 52 Ways to Feel Better in a Week". Along with her husband, Roland, Galina runs a podcast (Eat, Move, Live 52), manages several online courses, and personally runs her own restorative movement studio in Orange County.
This book changed my life. It really showed me that exercise is not the key to feeling better. It's about doing simple movements throughout your day--walking, hanging, air squatting. And you can change your life to fit these needs. Being in a city, I've found I walk quite a bit; however, I'm repeating the same movements throughout my day--overdosing on vitamins flat and concrete.
I had a few questions. Galina had better answers.

First "episode" just to give a background on what I plan to accomplish with this show. It's only 2 minutes and totally isn't read from a script. Anyways, I hope you'll tune in for future interviews!
