It is time for more Katy Bowman! 

Katy is one of my favorite educators in the health and fitness scene and her Nutritious Movement movement is so awesome and has such a great following (check out her Instagram to see her thoughtful commentary and the beautiful, Earth-based lifestyle she is living out there on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington).

This is a very educational episode as Katy illustrates the importance of a movement-oriented lifestyle separate and distinct from one’s fitness regimen—so integrating movement into your day, throughout the day, and not just for one isolated block of time. Katy is also a book writing machine with a new book, My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook.

This is an unusual book because it is formatted like a journal, asking you to participate in the process and further connect with the message.

Instead of a simple Q&A about her book, this episode is a thoughtful conversation about the impact movement and fitness can have on the human body. You will learn why athletic training can often be counterproductive to health, and how to integrate movement into your daily life in a graceful and sustainable way. It’s really not a huge ask and it has a massively beneficial impact on your health because instead of trying to get your butt to the gym and get in shape, it’s more about being mindful of your environment and your surroundings, and utilizing Katy’s quick, actionable tips so you can enjoy a more movement oriented lifestyle.

Katy Bowman, M.S. is a biomechanist, bestselling author, and founder of Nutritious Movement. She has written many books on the importance of a diverse movement diet including Move Your DNA, Rethink Your Position, Whole Body Barefoot, and her latest My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook. Follow her on Instagram @NutritiousMovement and enjoy listening to this practical and informative episode with Katy.



TIMESTAMPS:

How does one integrate movement into daily life? Even athletes need to get way better at having a more movement-oriented lifestyle. [00:51]

Most casual endurance athletes are overdoing it to the extreme excess and the extreme detriment to their overall general health. [7:04]

Cardio, strength, and flexibility should all be packaged together. [12:03]

By watching the Paralympics, people will be inspired to improve their exercise habits. [13:34]

People easily lose motivation like when they used COVID as an excuse of why they got out of shape. [18:32]

Sometimes we are strong in only one narrow area of fitness rather than all around fitness. What movements are functional for an average human? [21:34]

It really is quite easy to integrate movement into your lifestyle. Do squats in line at the taco truck, anyone? [27:48]

The fitness industry is pervasive.  You are told you must buy exercise equipment and dietary supplements when maybe you can get what you need at home. [29:30]

Psychologists are exploring the reasons or excuses people have for not being more active. [33:10]

There seems to be a focus on athleticism rather than just recognize movement as important. [36:43]

Living in the digital age, we find ourselves constantly entertained and connected which compromises movement. {48:19]

Life is busy.  It is so important to walk, walk, walk. [57:47]
