Functional Fitness

The body was made to move!
To walk, run, climb, jump, lift and carry
Movement is medicine - and it will never be recalled by the FDA.

"The gap between knowing & doing is where most self-improvement quietly dies.

The more you know, the wider that gap can feel. Because now you know exactly what you should be doing, which means you also know exactly how far you are from doing it."

A valuable conversation from
@CounterpointYT.

Is being overweight a choice?

Gym-goers and body acceptance supporters debate health, confidence, and responsibility.

So many people struggle with the notion that fitness is not aesthetic.

Stay active!

Regular physical activity is crucial for your health and helps prevent chronic diseases.

A healthy gait (the way we walk) is like an ECG - it has a information-laden rhythm which can provide valuable feedback about how efficiently and healthfully we're moving (and aging).

The benefits of ‘exercise snacking'

The Current w/ @mattgallowaycbc
[⏳️ 18:30]

Exertion disrupts the body's physiological status quo & triggers our adaptive capacity.

Huge benefit from short, vigorous bouts of activity interspersed through our day.

@CaulfieldTim With <50% of the 🇨🇦 population achieving recommended levels of physical activity, do you feel the MAJORITY of people have "reasonable fitness goals"?

What a horrifying take-home message and health promotion from an "expert".

The more we exercise, the longer we lounge around, study shows.

A single bout of exercise (aka "workout") does not create the same physiological or psychological habituation to activity/ m/ment/ metabolism as active daily living.

Morning workout.. 😂

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Exercise reduces depression and anxiety.

Over 1,000 randomized controlled trials: physical activity boosts emotional well-being for people with & without clinical symptoms.

It's not a panacea or a substitute for other treatments, but physical fitness is good for mental fitness.

"Strength training helps stop the loss of muscle function that comes with aging..."

"Yet, only 9% of people over 75 perform strength training regularly..."

If you want to have the strength to go hard you must also have the strength to go easy.

Over the long haul, consistent efforts compound in whatever you do—whether it's running, writing, or managing a team.

No need to be a hero. Gradually increase the load. Adjust as you go.

[Functional Fitness @MovementRx]

@SeattleiteLeo @CaulfieldTim @rachela_hall Are you saying that you don't believe movement has restorative/ therapeutic capacity (not necessarily the same as "curati e") in many contexts?
Strictly, "keep moving to maintain 'general health'"?
Please clarify.

@TYonClubhouse @WSJ @DzambhalaHODL Walking is amazing w/ so many pluses.

A # of the ex's outlined "open" the hips allowing them to work through a more complete range of motion & out of the "linear" walking pattern - left, right, left, right in forward propulsion.
