What if your ability to move well is shrinking?  In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about the concept of the 'movement box' and why creating a varied movement practice can be the key to a healthy, pain-free lifestyle.  I discuss the neurology of movement and how movement can be trained through exposure, what happens when you don't have that exposure to varied movement, and why a lack of varied movement may have other, less obvious side-effects.  I give my number one recommendation for the sedentary individual that is looking to improve their ability to move, some of my favorite exercises to add to a regular strength training program, and my thoughts on picking up new physical fitness modalities or sports.  I also discuss the concept of "optimal" movement in strength training vs "functional" movement, why I believe lifestyle stress is the greatest contributor to injury, the difference between flexibility and mobility training, the active vs passive gap, why you should treat your training like a practice, why speed of movement matters, and more.
