Summary

What do you think of when you hear the word fitness? Going to the gym? Going for a run? Yoga? For most of us, fitness is something that we do. We block off an hour or two during the day to focus on our physical health. We get our sweat session in, but then what?

On the show this week, we are joined by Aaron Alexander. Aaron is a manual therapist and movement coach, as well as an author (The Align Method), and host of the Align Podcast. Aaron’s message is clear. Fitness is not what you do - it’s who you are.

On today's show we talk about:

Our bodies are under construction 100% of the time.
Chronic pain is a huge issue in the US and other Western nations.
The main differentiator between us and one of the healthiest populations in the world is not in the way we work out, but in the way we rest.
The importance of setting up your work and living environment
Using sleep and nature as weapons

And a lot more. Enjoy!

0:00.0	What if I told you that we are always under construction?
0:10.7	Our physical bodies are all, what we're doing right now is setting us up for the body we will inhabit in the next moment.
0:18.3	That is one of the philosophies of this week's guest here on the Chase Jarvis
0:22.1	Live show on Creative Live. The guest is Aaron Alexander. Now, if you're familiar with Aaron's
0:27.1	work, you're going to be excited for this. And if you're not familiar, I have to tell you,
0:31.2	I think you're in for some new thinking. Aaron is a manual therapist. He's a movement coach.
0:37.0	He's an author and the host of an amazing
0:38.8	podcast I love called the Align podcast. Aaron takes practices from cultures all over the world.
0:44.9	He's gathered these ideas and insights past podcast guests, his travel, to understand that
0:50.6	we have the ability to integrate movement into our daily lives. Even more so, the healthiest
0:57.6	populations in the world, they actually don't come from gym culture. So if you, you know,
1:02.1	shudder at the thought of having to go to the gym three times a week for two hours at a time,
1:06.6	that actually you are right to be wary of that. And in fact, the healthiest cultures don't do that.
1:12.9	They have movement infused into every aspect of their life.
1:16.6	And it's not as hard as you might think.
1:19.2	Aaron is an amazing guest.
1:20.5	Being a host of his own show, we have a really intimate conversation.
1:23.8	He's super articulate.
1:25.3	And look, if you don't have your health in this life, what do you have?
1:29.5	Aaron is a master at helping us find that health, find it in a way that is deeply resonant with me,
1:34.5	and I know it's going to resonate with you. So I'm going to get out of the way. Enjoy this week's show.
1:38.9	Yours truly an Aaron Alexander. This episode of the Chase Jarvis Live show is brought to you by Creative Live.
