Summary
Learn how to biohack your mobility, create a movement-rich environment, and tap into the benefits of breathing, sleep, and balance. Kelly Starrett knows all the best moves. His 10 Vital Signs give you doable tests, tips, and tools so you can live your life exactly the way you want to.
That means a focus on mobility and your body’s complete range of motion. Movement like being able to sit on the floor and get back up; daily walking and squatting; increasing range of motion in your hips; and mobilizing your back and shoulders. You'll find it all in his newest book (co-authored with his wife, Juliet) “Built to Move: The 10 Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully.”
Physical therapist Dr. Kelly Starret is a highly respected expert in the world of functional movement and mobility. His ability to convey complex ideas in a relatable and approachable manner has made him both a pioneer and a popular figure within the fitness industry.
In this episode, he discusses the importance of shifting away from solely traditional exercise and hour-long gym sessions. Instead, Kelly put the focus on movement quality and variety with physical practice happening over 24 hours for a more holistic approach to fitness. "Built to Move" lays a movement foundation for everyone from non-exercisers to professional athletes and everyone in between.
“At the heart of upgrading is this idea that you are actually in charge of your own body,” he says, “And that happens in the household. No one else is coming to save you!”
