Think of a perfect world as one that includes adversities because things will occur to us that are not in line with what we would hope or like. That in and of itself is the perfect world. How do you deal with adversity when you're working on your game or when you're playing? i) If you're working on your pickleball improvement, let's say you're working on your serve and you have a tendency to pull your paddle across your body (a very common mechanical flaw in players' games), understand that that's part and parcel of the game ii) Allow yourself to not lose sight of the positives of the journey itself. You're going to have to deal with obstacles as part of your process to get to where you want to go, but that's just how it is.I'll relate this to a personal story that we'll tie it into pickleball where a lot of times we focus so much on the final painted room, and lose sight of the moments that we're painting, the seeing it develop and trying to do your best.In this episode I also share with you ways of thinking about your process that make it seem more manageable and use it for your benefit if you haven't done something before.Be part of our email list; https://betterpickleball.com/New camp dates in 2025; https://betterpickleball.com/pickleball-camps/Check out our resources for the Pickleball Central link and discount code; https://betterpickleball.com/resources/Move Your DNA by Katie Bowman; https://www.amazon.com/Move-Your-DNA-Restore-Movement/dp/0989653943
Biomechanist Katy Bowman talks to biologist Jeannette Loram about a recent New York Times article “ Why Sitting All Day May Shorten Your Life”. Katy was a source for this article and she talks with Jeannette about the journalistic process, and why the short-form might be letting us down.Katy and Jeannette talk about the benefits of sitting as well as the risks associated with uninterrupted hours in a chair. They discuss sitting as a two-part issue; first the inactivity and second the fixed body geometry. Katy and Jeannette discuss recent research showing that long hours of sitting are associated with a more rapid rate of cellular aging and how many experiences we put down to aging: muscle and bone loss, low energy levels and low back pain are really influenced by how much we sit.Katy and Jeannette critique the recommendation to offset hours in a chair by increasing exercise time, noting that this is not really how biology works. Katy suggests that this approach is a bit like flossing your teeth diligently while not brushing them.SPONSORS: THE DYNAMIC COLLECTIVE This episode of The Move Your DNA podcast is brought to you by The Dynamic Collective, a group of six companies that create products and services helping you to move more.

It is time for more Katy Bowman! Katy is one of my favorite educators in the health and fitness scene and her Nutritious Movement movement is so awesome and has such a great following (follow her on Instagram (@nutritiousmovement) to see her thoughtful commentary and the beautiful, Earth-based lifestyle she is living out there on the Washington peninsula). This is a very educational episode as Katy illustrates the importance of a movement-oriented lifestyle separate and distinct from one's fitness regimen—so integrating movement into all aspects of your day, not just for one designated block of time. Katy is also a book writing machine with a new book, My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook. This is an unusual book because it is formatted like a journal, asking you to participate in the process and further connect with the message. Instead of a simple Q&A about her book talking points, this episode is a thoughtful conversation about the impact movement and fitness can have on the human body. You will learn why athletic training can often be counterproductive to health, and how to integrate movement into your daily life in a graceful and sustainable way. It's not a huge task, (but it might be to get your butt to the gym and get in shape) and it has a massively beneficial impact on your health. Katy Bowman, M.S. is a biomechanist, bestselling author, and founder of Nutritious Movement. She has written many books on the importance of a diverse movement diet including Move Your DNA, Rethink Your Position, Whole Body Barefoot, and her latest My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook. Follow her on Instagram @NutritiousMovement TIMESTAMPS: How does one integrate movement into daily life? Even athletes need to get way better at having a more movement-oriented lifestyle. [00:51] Most casual endurance athletes are overdoing it to the extreme excess and the extreme detriment to their overall general health. [7:04] Cardio, strength, and flexibility should all be packaged together. [12:03] By watching the Paralympics, people will be inspired to improve their exercise habits. [13:34] People easily lose motivation like when they used COVID as an excuse of why they got out of shape. [18:32] Sometimes we are strong in only one narrow area of fitness rather than all around fitness. What movements are functional for an average human? [21:34] It really is quite easy to integrate movement into your lifestyle. Do squats in line at the taco truck, anyone? [27:48] The fitness industry is pervasive. You are told you must buy exercise equipment and dietary supplements when maybe you can get what you need at home. [29:30] Psychologists are exploring the reasons or excuses people have for not being more active. [33:10] There seems to be a focus on athleticism rather than just recognize movement as important. [36:43] Living in the digital age, we find ourselves constantly entertained and connected which compromises movement. {48:19] Life is busy. It is so important to walk, walk, walk.

Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader of the Movement movement, biomechanist Katy Bowman is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Bowman teaches movement globally and has written 9 previous books on the importance of a diverse movement diet, including Move Your DNA, Dynamic Aging, and Grow Wild. Her latest book, Rethink Your Position, is a much-needed guide to how our bodies move, why we need to move more, and the intentional steps anyone can take to feel, move, and even think better--one part at a time.Rethink Your Position and Built to Move have so much in common in terms of the mission and goal to focus on the basics. We get into all the ways in which movement is being left behind in modern life and how to combat this trend.
This week we have a very special guest on the show, someone who has been a major influence on my perspective and my approach to movement personally and has really inspired a lot of the philosophy and practices that we promote here at TFC. Katy Bowman is a Biomechanist and is the bestselling author of 9 books, including Move Your DNA, Whole-Body Barefoot, Grow Wild, and her latest book Rethink Your Position which is actually due to launch tomorrow, Thursday 11th May. You can learn more about Katy's new book here. Katy has been a leading voice in the movement movement for over a decade and has pioneered the concept of Nutritious Movement, which is the name of her education company and is just frankly an amazing analogy to help us frame how movement affects all aspects of our health on a deep level. In fact one of our first episodes on this podcast was actually a whole episode dedicated to exploring the concept of movement nutrition and obviously draws on Katy's work heavily, and so that podcast would pair very well with this one - so if you're keen to check that out first or straight after, it is all the way down in Season 1 Episode 3. But throughout this episode, we discuss the broader concept of biomechanics, we delve into the difference between posture and alignment and explore how the way we move can influence how we feel and contribute to our experience of pain and injury. We also delve into some key topics from Katy's new book to help you build more awareness around your own alignment, movement and mindset. There's obviously a huge amount that we didn't get to cover, as the book goes into a really impressive amount of detail while still being really accessible to read and having read it back to front myself I can very honestly highly recommend it. So I really enjoyed this conversation with Katy, I got a lot out of it myself and I know you will too - if you do find value in it, please let us know by leaving us a review on your podcast app and help us spread the message by sharing it out with family and friends.

Valerie Nuytten is outdoor movement coach. Haar missie is volwassenen opnieuw leren bewegen op een natuurlijke manier, zoals kinderen dat instinctief doen. We hadden een uitgebreid en super interessant gesprek.Over wat natuurlijk bewegen is en wat het doet met een mens.Over de absurditeit van tegen onze kinderen zeggen "zit eens stil", en tegen volwassenen "je moet meer bewegen".Over de medidatieve kracht van repetitieve bewegingen, bijvoorbeeld bij het wildplukken.Over hoe je zorgt dat beweging deel uitmaakt van je leven en waarom dat belangrijk is. Over het hele jaar op blote voeten lopen, je behoefte doen in de natuur, eten met je handen en op de grond slapen.Over dankbaar zijn voor je lichaam en het gebruiken waarvoor het dient.Over hoe hormetische prikkels tijdens het wildplukken en natuurlijk bewegen je lichaam sterker maken.En nog veel meer...We hebben het in deze aflevering vaak over het boek van Katy Bowman, "Move Your DNA". Een echte aanrader! Katy schreef ook een blog met 20 alternatieve manieren om te zitten. Laat je inspireren om eens niet gewoon op een stoel te gaan zitten of stoelen misschien helemaal uit je leven te bannen. Lees ook het boek "How to Shit in the Woods" van Kathleen Meyer, check de Squatty Potty, en de workshops over compost toiletten van Villa Vanzelf.Het Move In Nature weekend in juni dat Valerie vermeldt in de podcast is ondertussen volzet.

This week's interview is with Katy Bowman. While Katy is officially a biomechanist, she's best known as an award-winning author who reaches hundreds of thousands of people every month. She has published eight books and been all over TV, but I know her mainly as an incredibly thoughtful and creative person (and friend). As I was reviewing this interview, I think the thing I was proudest off is that she spends most of her time off-message, just exploring our interests together and applying her unique perspective to the topics of the day: marketing, influencers, convenience, television, the economy, etc… …rather than staying narrowly focused on her domain of expertise. That said, I did get some movement-related ideas out of her that will be challenging for the remaining 6 billion of us who are not immersed in her work. Hint: Architect your life so walking is a must, not leisure.

In our conversation we talk about form, feet, injuries, and Jess Finley's ‘hooky' acromion process (it's part of your shoulder). When you use swords, or do any other sport, the movements – or lack of – that you do all of the rest of the time when you are not doing swords create your ability to move freely and effectively with a sword in your hand.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman, author of numerous books including Move Your DNA and Grow Wild, joins Chris Kresser in this episode of Revolution Health Radio to discuss human movement ecology and the issue of sedentarism in our culture. They talk about how to reframe your idea of what movement is, ways you can naturally incorporate more of it into your routine, the reasons why humans have been in a steady transition toward less movement, and how the decline in movement and increase in technology is especially impactful on children. The post RHR: Why Movement Is Essential to Optimal Health, with Katy Bowman appeared first on Chris Kresser.
“Movement is a giant circle of a diagram, it's any time you change the shape of your body or even the tissues within your body. Exercise is a specific type of movement… you do it to a mode, or a specific time frame… I am just trying to get people to think differently as we are so sedentary culturally that to exercise every day seems like a tone of movement… but we really require a tremendous amount more than just 1 hour a day and it really needs to be distributed better throughout the day.”Why you might ask is this necessary?To be able to use our bodies in the future! To be physically fit enough to be able to do the tasks we do now in the future. “You have to water your garden so it continues to produce”, by continuously moving in different dynamic ways throughout the day “you nourish your tissues”.This week we had the pleasure of speaking to bio-mechanist Katy Bowman, bestselling author, speaker, and a leader in the Movement movement.

We all try our best to look after our brushes, our paints, and our miniatures. But what about ourselves?Though talking about health in the hobby might not seem as interesting and escapist as chatting Chaos Dwarves and Snotling Pump Waggons, it's something that we ignore at our peril. There are a few reasons why we're going to cover it in this 2-part episode.This is a sedentary hobby where we remain in the same position for long periods of time - and indoors, too.Most of us have also been stuck working from home these past two years.The beginning of a new year often gets us thinking about our physical and mental health, and, at least toying with the idea of making improvements.So I'm joined by Dan of the Paint All The Minis Podcast. Dan is as heroic-looking as a modern-day GW sculpt. He wouldn't look out of place on the cover of Men's Health magazine, and he's here to lecture you and make you feel bad about yourself.I'm being tongue-in-cheek of course. This definitely isn't a lecture, a "how-to", or an exercise in body shaming. It's merely a chat where we talk about the health-based things that have worked for us (or haven't!) over the years.The aim is simply to get you thinking about your own health in the hobby. Either to start exploring avenues of improvements you might be able to make. Or, to laugh heartily at two puny weaklings attempting to talk about things like weights and fitness.Because we are far from experts in these fields, and absolutely none of this is "advice", we're linking to some handy follow-up resources too.

Did you know that your body needs movement as much as you need food? In this episode of the Align Podcast, biomechanist and movement guru Katy Bowman explains what human movement truly means, why it affects your quality of life, and how to get yourself to move more often and effectively in a sedentary world that offers limitless reasons to sit on hours. What's really interesting to know is that it's not enough that you exercise or move your body once in a while; Katy says you should be moving in ways that optimize ALL parts of your body. Yes, there's actually a "dosage" of movement required for different body parts. It seems complex, but it's totally achievable if you introduce even small changes in your routine. Whether you're working in front of the computer or glued to the TV screen, there are easy ways you can secure that daily dose of healthy movement. Learn more as Katy and I delve deep into that in this educational talk. Aside from writing the best-selling "Move Your DNA" along with 7 other books, multi-awarded leader Katy Bowman teaches movement globally through her movement education company, Nutritious Movement. Her work has been featured in diverse media including The Today Show, CBC Radio One, The Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping. She's one of the most influential thinkers whose work continues to amaze and inspire me. What we discuss: 2:50 – What is movement, and how to know if you're "under moved" 8:00 – Pelvic Floor biomechanics, and the “movement dosage” your body parts need 13:40 – How to incorporate movement even if you're just sitting 16:50 – Why you need to go out more often and look at things from a distance 24:00 – Katy's book reco: The Wizard and the Prophet 36:15 – “The body is a renewable resource through movement.” 41:00 – Tensegrity beyond the skeletal system: How your perception of the world shapes your body and life 46:11 – How to be more active individuals in a sedentary world 49:00 – Movement as Nutrition: Why "Move Your DNA" is worth the read Learn more from Katy Bowman: Website: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/ Instagram: @nutritiousmovement Related Link: Katy Bownman's books: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/product-category/bookstore/

We know that as a society we are living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and children have never moved as little as they do today. That's why people like Katy Bowman, author of Move your DNA and now her latest book Grow Wild, are so important in helping us to recognise why we need to move more. Katy joins us today from the US to chat to us about movement and to give us some simple actionable changes that aim to combat our super sedentary culture.
Today, we talk with folks from the MovNat Level 3 Certification in Glorietta, NM, September 2021, about fitness, the broader idea of human movement, nature, culture, and being a good human animal. Joining us is Nate Smith, Nate Amado, Rock Hancock, Scott Southworth, and Mason Maas. Enjoy!Nate Smith: "Nate was raised in the mountains of front range CO. With the state land as his backyard his interests were shaped quickly by the landscape and culture of his mountain community. Today he serves as a Sacred hunting guide, Movnat L3 instructor, lifestyle coach, and works part time in the outdoor industry to fuel his passion for skiing, rock climbing, and hunting. "Rock Hancock: "Brian 'Rock' Hancock believes that exercise and physical activity should celebrate the body's capabilities. As a Level 2 MovNat Certified Trainer and a Certified Health Coach, Rock has over 12 years experience working with various fitness backgrounds. He has assisted a range of clients, from the United States Marine Corps to those in corporate settings. He practices what he teaches. A look into his home would prove that a 2x4 sits in the living room for balance practice. His favorite natural movement skills are lifting, carrying, and jumping. In his free time, he loves cooking for his wife and sons."Scott Southworth: "Scott is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, MovNat Level 2 Trainer (working on Level 3!), and CrossFit Level 1 Trainer. in his gym practice, he specializes in weight loss, strength training, bodyweight training, and back and joint pain. He believes that our bodies are meant to be extensions of ourselves. He comes from a background in wrestling and freerunning where he used his body to explore and define who he was as a person. Since then, he's gotten involved in obstacle course races, endurance challenges, rock climbing, and a host of other activities. His training focuses on preparing for what life might throw at us. Whether that's sprinting up stairs so we don't miss a flight, helping a family member move into their new place, or playing a pickup game of basketball, he believes in a useful type of fitness. He's been involved in fitness for thirteen years and professionally training others for over a decade. Everyday he makes it his goal to better himself and grow as a trainer just as he asks his clients to better themselves and move toward their goals every day."Nate Amado: "Nate grew up a fairly weak and skinny kid, and having asthma didn't help -- running out of breath trying to keep up with friends was discouraging. He didn't feel strong, good at sports, or capable enough to defend himself (never mind others). He only played on a sports team once growing up, basketball in 3rd grade, and only made the free throws. It wasn't until his senior year in high school when he intently started pursuing new physical & mental challenges, starting out with high school wrestling. It was great, he won his first match or two, and got his ass handed to me for the rest of them. He loved it, and only wished he had started sooner. Later, when he discovered MovNat from the video "The Workout the World Forgot", he realized, 'THIS IS IT!' He felt that it was everything in one, the most complete system. He knew, right then and there, that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He went on to receive the MovNat Level 2 & Combatives Certifications (Mar & Jul 2016), The Human Path Scout Certification (Oct 2017), the Level 3 MovNat Certification (Oct 2017), a Purple Belt in BJJ (Dec 2017), the Primal Health Coaching Certification (Apr 2018), the MovNat Aquatics Certification (Sept 2018, officially earning all 5 MovNat certs and becoming a MovNat Master Trainer), the Gracie Combatives Belt Certification (twice - Jan & Jul 2020), and am currently on the path to becoming a certified Gracie Jiu Jitsu Instructor (July 2021), and a MeatRx Animal-Based Nutrition Coach (June 2021)."Mason Maas: "Mason is currently studying for a Doctorate in Acupuncture, He has a Masters in Acupuncture and a B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science. He is working on his MovNat Level 3 certification, but has earned his MovNat Level 2 Certification. He is also an NASM Master Trainer, a Corrective Exercise Specialist, and a Performance Enhancement Specialist."Contact Michael:1. Email: ccerppodcast@aol.com2. Website: http://www.goldams.com 3.

Remove the Guesswork: Health, Fitness and Wellbeing for Busy Professionals
This week we're discussing how your environment affects your wellbeing. Topics Discussed In This Episode:What we usually think about in terms of our health besides our environment.How Leanne has designed her immediate environment to energize her. Pollutants and other hazards to check for in your environment.Why having an energizing environment is important. The role that lighting plays in wellbeing. How you can arrange your space to promote a higher degree of movement.Aspects of your greater outside environment that can impact your health.The best times to take your daily walk.What circumstances may push you to consider moving. Why it's important to do meaningful work.The environment you actually spend the most time in. Key Takeaways:Energizing your immediate physical environment, such as your office or rooms in your home, can support your overall wellbeing.Lighting is also important for energy and should be considered when focusing on your environment.Avoid overdoing it in terms of comfort in your immediate physical environment to promote movement.Your outside environment is as important as the inside environments you live in, so take a drive, get some fresh air, and be outside as often as possible.Leanne is taking part in an accelerator program, and she finds the group to be challenging and inspiring. Social interactions that stimulate you intellectually are important.Feeling connected to people is a fundamental human need.It's important to have some time for imagination and escapism in your own mind, but also to do so within limits.Environment is one of the more underappreciated aspects of wellbeing.Action Steps:Here are the environments you can consider making changes to for your wellbeing:1. Immediate physical environment: the rooms you spend the most time in, such as your office or rooms in your home.2. Outside environment: the environment in your local area.3. Community environment: the people you surround yourself with, such as friends and family.4. Social environment: extended community environment which includes all the people and communities you interact with.5. Mental environment: the environment of your own mind. Leanne said:“We often think about nutrition, sleep, fitness, movement, mental health, resilience, but we don't always take into account our literal immediate environment.” “If you live in an area that's heavily polluted, can you consider making a move? Or perhaps you consider getting out every now and then, whether that's a drive to the countryside or a drive down to the coast. Be mindful of the air quality you live in, because that can really affect our health.”Links To Things Mentioned In The Podcast: Access more environment related content here: https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/?s=environment Move Your DNA podcast by Katy Bowman: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/move-your-dna-with-katy-bowman/id894200695 Leanne's TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SLP1BF7KBQ Take our Wellbeing at Work Scorecard and see how your organisations wellbeing strategy scores against 4 key areas of wellbeing.

This episode will knock your socks off. Or at least make you think twice about wearing them all the time. On episode 15 of the FitLife Formula, I share some ideas from Katy Bowman's book, Move Your DNA. There are a ton of really interesting arguments in this book, but one thing that really stuck out to me is the idea that the mechanical forces of movement and your environment not only shape your body, but also determine how your genes express themselves. When you think of it in this light, you start to think differently about your apparel and how you might be canceling out the forces that help you maintain optimal health. Guys, this episode might make you rethink your tighty whiteys. Ladies, I'll share how your bra might be selling you short. And all you shoe lovers out there, you might begin to think differently about your super supportive runners. Hope you enjoy Episode 15 of the FitLife Formula Podcast! Get Naked, Stay Healthy.
I’m excited to say that Katy Bowman is here today! In fact I think she’s the most requested guest to date, so many of you listening will be especially interested in today’s episode. Katy is the movement mastermind behind the award-winning blog and podcast Nutritious Movement (formerly Katy Says) that reaches thousands of people every month. She’s blogged for 10 years on the topic of movement and its importance to health. Along the way she also found time to author 8 books, including the best-selling Move Your DNA and Movement Matters. A biomechanist by training, Katy pioneers research on the effects of our modern sedentary culture and the profound potential of human movement. She’s convinced me that movement can be just as nutritious as food … and she’s not just talking about getting to the gym. To find out what she is talking about, stick around! Katy Bowman on Nutritious Movement If you’ve been around my blog, you may have noticed I have some strong feelings on eating real, nutritious foods and avoiding empty, toxic ones like sugar and processed oils. Well the way I feel about sugar and processed foods is the way Katy Bowman feels about sitting still. Deprive your body of its daily dose of movement, she says, and it’s just as bad as not eating your vegetables. The amazing part is that regular exercise doesn’t even undo the effects of sitting for long hours in a desk chair or on your couch. Research shows that too much sitting can lead not only to obesity but higher rates of cancer, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. It can even shorten our life span. So what’s a healthy mom to do? Katy Bowman lays it all out, step-by-step. She explains exactly what we can do about this cultural problem and how to meet our body’s movement quota in a sedentary world. In This Episode You’ll Learn why we’re not getting enough “Vitamin Squat” … and why it’s so important we don’t go without it what movement can do for the body, and how to get more of it the reason why not many of us adults are very good at squatting (and why my toddler is pro!) why Katy has very little furniture in her house … yes, not even a couch where kegels fall short … and what to do for the pelvic floor instead the difference between stationary and sedentary ways to get out of our comfort zone and try new movement (even when everyone else is just sitting around) modifications to help you recover the ability to squat “nutritious” ways to move after having a baby how to create the ideal dynamic work space the relationship between diastasis recti and pelvic floor issues … and how to fix it the cool way her family does dinner and breakfast pic
This is really a show about one of my favorite topics: HOW to think about learning about your body. (Are we being dogmatic or really open to learning new information? Plus a hundred other nuggets of gold in this show.) Angelo Coppola hosts the podcast Latest in Paleo and the site, and guiding philosophy really, that Humans Are Not Broken. He's a writer, interviewer, devourer of research, father of five, husband, natural mover and has kept off 90 pounds for six years (a powerful transformation — deep insight after a lifetime of trying to lose weight — that he uses to connect to his tribe looking to do the same in a sustainable, healthy, long-game way). All that is cool, of course, though what really drew to me to want to interview Angelo is how he transmits his massive knowledge base about the human body in a very open-minded, kind and accessible way. Lots of insight in this one. Enjoy!
