Welcome back for our July Bookclub Discussion! The book we chose for this month is called "Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children," by Angela J. Hanscom. Nature can be our greatest teacher without using a single word. It can help bring us into balance, and it's essential for childhood development. Listen in as we talk about some of our "aha!" moments while reading this book, as well as some things from the book we are implementing with our children. What do you think? Have you read the book? What have you observed about the children you associate with and their need for nature? Visit our MotherHeart Facebook Group and join the discussion! We'd love to hear from you!

Jack Mullaly joins us to discuss how walking, running, and moving in nature differs from walking, running, and moving in a human-made and human-designed environment (e.g., cities, suburbs, and homes). We discuss his background, his work, what MovNat is, how moving in natural environments differs from moving in gyms and human-made environments, how to transition wisely into moving in nature, how fitness programs should be designed and how clients should be trained, and how to get into barefoot running and stay with it. About Jack: Jack Mullaly is a man who wears many hats, each with a different print but the same underlying design. Jack is a former internationally competitive athlete is the niche sport of biketrials. He is a qualified environmental engineer and most recently the owner of Ideanthro Movement, a gym delivering fitness rooted in real world, practical human movement. While these may seem like very different pursuits, it is Jack's contention that most aspects of life are far more connected and similar than they might appear at first glance. This is known at thematic interconnectedness. Jack seeks to find these thematic interconnections to learn from what works in one aspect of life and apply them in others.You can reach him via his website: https://www.ideanthro.com/connectContact Michael:1. ccerppodcast@aol.com2. http://www.goldams.com 3. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-gold-2883921/ 4. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1152144714995033/Join us at CCERP on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1152144714995033/Show notes.1.
