You Have the Wrong Health Goals

– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 143 with Griffin Coombs

Griffin Coombs is a movement, breathing, and wellness coach based in Tangier, Morocco, whose work centers around guiding all types of people to "level up" their bodies by closing gaps in some of the most overlooked areas of their wellbeing.

While it might sound like a disadvantage to grow up without much interest in conventional sports (especially in a town like Boston), this is what allowed Griffin to develop an intentional relationship to physical exercise that emphasizes physical freedom, discipline, and authenticity.

"If your goal isn't aligned with your well-being, our first job is to change your goal," says Griffin, and no one leaves one of his training sessions without learning something new about their body. His eclectic and nuanced approach to training is built on the foundational values of focused awareness, holistic understanding, and a health-first mindset – and is supported by a breadth of experience in corrective exercise, yoga, martial arts & combatives, breath training, and several other movement disciplines.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Griffin Coombs about why you should re-evaluate your health goals.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:

- How people who work out shouldn't focus so much on losing weight.

- Why it's important for people to understand exactly why they want to change their body.

- How our psychology can affect the perception we have of our bodies.

- How people and trainers might want to rethink mainstream personal training philosophies.

- Why convincing people that barefoot shoes are the best can be challenging at times.
