0:00.0	Movement is so much more than just exercise or training or motion even.
0:06.0	Movement is a language.
0:08.0	It's a way of connecting body, mind, and environment.
0:12.0	Movement as a way of being.

1:23.0	product that existed back then. Things have changed, of course, but that choice creates confusion.
1:28.8	And most of the products that are out there, let's face it, fall way short of the mark.
1:33.5	Grainy textures, chalky taste, questionable ingredients, poor nutritional profiles, you name it.
