Description

Let’s get one thing straight: this episode isn’t about “exercise.” It’s about movement. Because your body isn’t built for fitness trends, step counts, or guilt-driven workouts. It’s built to move well enough, often enough, and intentionally enough to keep you showing up for a life you care about.


But in today’s world? Movement feels optional. We sit more, we move less, and before we know it, the body that was designed for action starts breaking down from inactivity. Not because we’re lazy, but because we’ve been trained to think about movement all wrong.


This episode is about flipping that script.


• Why movement (not exercise) keeps you functional, independent, and resilient
• How our brains were wired to resist movement unless it has an immediate purpose
• Why strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance all matter — and how to train them without a daunting, overcomplicated plan
• The overlooked importance of plyometrics and fall training (because staying upright is a skill none of us can afford to lose)
• How to integrate movement into daily life without guilt, burnout, or unrealistic goals


This isn’t about getting “fit.” It’s about building a body that supports the life you want to live — for as long as possible.


So let’s talk about how to make that happen.


Listen now.
