Summary

An injury in her early 40s, and a long period of chronic pain that followed, made Wendy Welpton think about how she was moving. Now a movement coach, founder of Reclaim Movement, and a podcast host, she’s also written a book – Move Well For Life: Unlock The Life-Changing Power of Everyday Movement – aimed at getting others to do the same. Jen chats to Wendy about why movement should trump exercise, why it’s so important for people in midlife to move more and move better, and why she really really wants you to get on the floor.
