Darryl Edwards is back for a second time with Angela, talking about the vital role of movement at a time whereas a result of COVID19 we are all staying at home. It’s easy to adopt a very sedentary lifestyle at this time but exercise and movement are beneficial on many levels – physical and psychological. It is also recognised that movement plays a role in effective support of immune function, so this is the time to get started and make sure movement and exercise are part of your daily routine.

As a movement coach and author of the best-selling book ‘Animal Moves’  Darryl has extensive knowledge and shares some great advice and practical tips on how to get started and create a varied movement routine that you love and will make the difference.

There has never been a more important time to get moving to stay healthy listen in and hear how you can get started now.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are a whole range of movement activities, limited only by your imagination, that you can do in your home.
It’s important to enjoy your lifestyle and exercise so having a range of opportunities for movement is key.
To maintain good health, it’s important to do a range of different movements, working like this will build endurance and resilience.
If you are significantly deconditioned anything you do when you begin to exercise will be high intensity for your body.
High-Intensity Interval Training increases bone and tissue strength making you more robust and resilient overall.
High-intensity exercise produces more killer cell counts than moderate-intensity exercise
Post HITT activity, the higher natural killer cell count means the body is more primed to find cells that are affected by viruses.
It’s important to be aware of how intensity can make you more immunologically healthy.
It’s about learning what you are capable of doing and making sure your movement program is varied and broad.
Whatever activities you choose to do you need to focus on completing exercise that encompasses the full spectrum of movement intensity.
The most powerful of movements are those three-dimensional movements that involve the transverse plane and having this type of work included in your routine is vital.
When you are learning a new movement pattern it significantly increases BDNF once you have control of a movement pattern you have much less BDNF so it’s important to try new things all the time.
Movement is not an easy choice in a sedentary society but now is a great time to get started.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘The most mindful I can be is when I’m as focused as I can be’

‘People need to experience different movement patterns to understand why it’s so important for the brain and the body’

‘Dancing is important, it’s great for cognitive benefits and reduces cognitive decline - it’s therapeutically used with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
