Description
When’s the last time you rocked, rolled, or did a set of head nods?
These sound like things you might do at a heavy metal concert (RIP shows and in-person events), but I’m referring to simple exercises and movements you may want to incorporate into your routine.
According to my guest on this podcast, Tim Anderson, these movements act as a sort of “reset” that you can use to improve movement quality, reduce pain, improve your sleep, and even lift more weight in the gym.
I’ll let Tim get into the nitty-gritty details, but the basic idea is that as we age and spend years of our lives sitting and sedentary, we forget how to move properly. Tim’s “resets” are ways we can restore the original strength and movement patterns we learned when we first started to walk as babies. And I appreciate his unique take on mobility and movement.
In case you’re not familiar with Tim, he’s the co-founder of Original Strength where he’s made a career out of helping people young and old improve movement patterns and quality, get strong and healthy, and live better. He’s also an accomplished author, having written several books on the subject.
In our discussion, we talk about . . .
How to breathe properly
The benefits of re-learning movements like crawling, rocking, and head nodding
Common movement dysfunctions like forward head posture and gait issues
Simple “resets” you can do anywhere
How much time you should spend resetting and how often
And more . . .
So if you want to learn about how these easy movements can help improve your life and how to get started with them, listen to this podcast!
