Julie Angel, who has a PHD in Cine Parkour, explained to me that ageing sets in when we stop playing, and parkour is the ultimate in child's play.  

Remember when you were 7 and you threw yourself behind the sofa to avoid being caught in a game of hide and seek or you flung yourself across those monkey bars to avoid being tagged by your sister?

Like, why did we stop all of that?  

Julie says that "your body is your biography."  And she can tell just by looking at you, what you do the most of.  Sitting... yup.  Hunching.... yup.  Starting at your phone.... yup.  

When our range of movement becomes limited, so does our thinking.

With all the 'new year, new you' hype, I thought it would be lovely to bring you this episode to inspire you about exciting ways to move your body and open up your mind. 

We discuss: 

🕺🏽360 degree movement - why Parkour keeps us young
🕺🏽Deliberately inviting challenge 
🕺🏽A thousand mindful reps vs 10 reps in the gym
🕺🏽Imagination knows no age limits
🕺🏽You get good at what you do
🕺🏽How being relaxed makes you stronger
🕺🏽How training in inefficient environments makes you stronger
🕺🏽What is a movement culture and how can we use it to our advantage
🕺🏽Why movement variety is just as important as nutritional variety
🕺🏽Expanding into the possibilities of your range of movement
🕺🏽Why mindset MUST involve the body too
🕺🏽Finding joy in ATTEMPTING to do the movement you cannot do
🕺🏽Cinema, parkour and menopause - it's all connected via creativity

I absolutely loved recording this episode, it was a thrill to connect with this vibrant and beautiful human - My mind expanded so much talking to her.  I hope yours does too.
