Show Notes
The way we move has huge implications for our health. Roger Frampton discovered the impact for himself when he fundamentally changed the way he moves, and now he’s helping thousands of people around the world to tap into the benefits.
Moving well is critical for longevity, particularly because the way we live our lives puts all sorts of stress on our bodies that they weren’t designed to deal with. Roger has found ways to deal with the biggest issues, and just a few minutes a day can lead to significant improvements. It almost sounds like an infomercial, but it’s true!
This episode covers:
Why stretching and mobility is so significant and how he discovered it
The optimal level of flexibility (it’s not as intense as you might think)
The difference between flexibility and mobility, and how to test yourself at home
How amazingly flexible kids are, and if we can get back to that
Why it’s important to be flexible as you get older
Consistency vs intensity in stretching
How to start stretching, even if you’re not flexible
The best time to stretch
How long it takes to become more flexible
The problem with sitting, and how to avoid the negative impacts
