142: Why Repetitive Movements Cause Stiffness Too (Member Interview: John C.)


Listen Later

The vast majority of men with back pain, hip pain, and joint pain sit far too much on a daily basis. While sitting all day terrorizes your joints, there's another potential cause of stiffness:

Repetitive and constant movement.

Today's guest and Man Flow Yoga Member, John, works the night shift at H-E-B. His job requires him to move constantly (he gets 18,000 steps a day when he's working). And the constant, repetitive movements have unleashed pain, tightness, and stiffness on his back, hips, and joints.

John's big problem (which he didn't realize until after he joined Man Flow Yoga and dialed in his consistency) was that he never engaged his core prior to Man Flow Yoga.

But now?

Not only is nearly all his bodily pain gone completely, but he even helps his coworkers eliminate their pain - something he credits to my instructions when doing a Man Flow Yoga workout.

John's story proves that moving too much (but in the wrong ways) can also be as bad on your body as not moving at all.

Here's what else he shares in this episode:

  • How John motivates himself to workout even though he's a father of five who works the night shift

  • Why trying other types of yoga (that aren't Man Flow Yoga) can cause you to injure yourself

  • How community can improve your consistency more than perhaps anything else

Other highlights from the show include:

  • How moving constantly for work is almost as bad for your back as sitting all day (1:20)

  • Why does Man Flow Yoga consistently outperform other styles of yoga for bodily pains? John explains at (12:07)

  • The absolute best Man Flow Yoga program for moving your body in all the ways you should move your body but don't (17:54)

  • Simple ways to incorporate your core into daily movements (and how this staves off back pain) (19:19)

  • How being consistent with Man Flow Yoga helps you eliminate pain for your family, friends, and coworkers (34:47)

To quote John, "the best piece of advice I have for men who want to be healthier is to join Man Flow Yoga."
