Uncover the truth behind society's fitness myths and why your daily workout might not be enough for holistic health. Join host Susannah Steers for this episode of the Heart of Motion podcast as we explore the profound difference between fitness and movement training. Our modern conveniences have created a movement deficit, often leaving us with chronic discomfort despite those frequent gym visits. Let's shift the spotlight from visible fitness markers like sculpted abs to a richer understanding of our body's capacity and language. Together, we'll redefine what it means to be truly fit, enhancing our mobility and quality of life, especially as we age.
We'll also tackle how the decline in manual labor has changed our physical landscapes, and why exercise alone might fall short. Discover how practices like Pilates can transform your flexibility, strength, and body awareness, offering gains for both everyday life and athletic performance. Understand the importance of rehabilitating movement patterns at a pace that fosters learning and exploration. Plus, let's focus on nurturing healthy movement habits in children, who face the challenges of limited physical activity and premature sports specialization. Tune in for insights that promise a more active, vibrant, and connected life through intentional movement.
