Brat McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast.

According to some estimates, only 5% of people in the West get the recommended amount

of daily physical activity.

Is the solution getting a fitness tracker, developing more discipline, or buying a piece

of cardio equipment for your basement?

My guess would say, none of the above, would have you think about kids playing at recess

instead.

Daryl Edwards is the founder of the primal play method.

To end the show, we discuss the epidemic of sedentaryness, which besets both adults and children,

and why technology and willpower isn't the cure.

Daryl then explains why a better solution to getting more movement and physical activity

in your lives is rediscovering the intrinsically motivating pleasure of play.

He offers suggestions on how to do that, including compiling a play history for your life,

embracing primal movements that will get you moving like an animal and a child, and getting

over the fear of looking goofy while doing so.

We discuss the joys and health benefits of exploring your capabilities and environment,

and how to incorporate more movement into your busy adult life by making even regular

activities more playful.

After the show is over, check out our show notes at aam.is slash primal play.

Alright, Daryl Edwards, welcome to the show.

Thanks very much, Perette.

So you are a former investment banker technologist, turned movement coach.
