Summary

Our modern world with all its conveniences and technologies often encourages a sedentary lifestyle. And more and more studies are affirming that opting out of regularly moving our bodies is making us sick, unhealthy, and is even shortening our lifespans. Movement is a foundational practice for all life – and if we want to make our bodies work better, we have to find simple ways to integrate more movement into our existing routines. Today’s guest, Juliet Starrett, is a lifelong athlete, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author who has an important mission: to inspire people to move more for stronger, healthier, more durable bodies. Together, Juliet and her husband Kelly Starrett wrote the incredible book, Built to Move, which focuses on basic yet powerful mobility practices anyone can use to feel better and live longer. Juliet is back on The Model Health Show to discuss some simple tweaks you can make to your existing routine for less pain, better mobility, and better health. You’re going to learn how simple practices like sitting on the floor and upgrading your walking routine can enhance your life, plus the #1 stretch you should be doing every day. What I love about Juliet’s message is that she believes that anyone can optimize their body and improve their health with consistent and intentional practice. I hope you enjoy this conversation with the one and only, Juliet Starrett! In this episode you’ll discover: Why kids today are more sedentary than ever.
