Summary

Most of us, even if we’re very active, are not moving our bodies the way nature designed them to move. We exercise plenty. We also sit plenty. We wear shoes that don’t help keep our feet strong or our posture properly aligned. That can set the stage for aches, pains, and injuries, especially during this time of life when our joints are more vulnerable. This week we talk with movement coach Petra Fisher about the small daily adjustments we can make and exercises we can do to enhance mobility, decrease pain, and improve performance.

Petra is a movement coach, body nerd and recovering lawyer. She is certified in Restorative Exercise, MovNat and Functional Range Conditioning. Petra’s mission in life is to help women reconnect with their bodies so they have less pain, more joy & get to do more of what they love for the rest of their lives. You can learn more about her and her work at www.PetraFisherMovement.com

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:31.1	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:33.7	I hope you all are well.
0:36.2	So this week, we're talking about movement. And here's where I'll be a little
0:41.3	confessional. Whenever I hear people talking about having a movement practice, part of me is like,
0:47.7	I move plenty. I'm super active. I don't know if I need a movement practice. And then something
0:53.7	will come along and kind of slap me upside the head

1:12.4	So take the sit-to-stand challenge that we did over at Feisty Menopause as an example.
1:18.5	For those of you who didn't see it, we did this challenge over on our Instagram where you had to
1:23.3	lower yourself into a seated position on the ground and stand back up again without using your
1:28.8	upper body at all, not pushing off on the floor or pressing your elbows into your knees. And, you know,
1:34.5	I thought, that's easy, right? Well, it wasn't pretty, but I managed it. And I realized, like,
1:42.2	while I was twisting myself in and out of pretzel form that I could feel
1:46.5	my right hip was way tighter than my left and my left glute was not really pulling its weight
