Show Notes
Biomechanist and Author Katy Bowman describes how a movement diet, just like a food diet, is important for nourishing our bodies and maintaining optimal health. Just like we need a balanced diet of macronutrients and micronutrients for optimal health, Katy speaks with Libby about how we also need a variety of movements to nourish our bodies. In this practical episode, she suggests adding different movements to our walking routine, such as carrying weight, making movements with our hands, and incorporating strength-building exercises. They explore the concept of movement as a tool that needs to be cared for and maintained, and Katy introduces her new workbook, 'My Perfect Movement Plan,' which helps listeners create a personalized movement routine based on their unique needs and goals.
