Move It or Lose It – Beyond Ergonomics

Episode #291 with Dr. Uche Odiatu

We've all heard the benefits of exercise, but it goes beyond ergonomics. To remind you of the neurological benefits of being physically active, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Uche Odiatu for a lesson on how exercise can keep your mind healthy and add years to your practice. And the best part is, you don't need a lot of time to get moving — start today! For more, listen to Episode 291 of The Best Practices Show!

Main Takeaways:

There are neurological and physiological benefits to being physically active.

Exercising and fitness goes beyond just “looking hot”.  

Fitness isn't a cost, it’s an investment.

Sitting is the new smoking!

Walk more, walk briskly, and live longer.

You don't need a ton of time to exercise!

Quotes:

“Most people, when they think of exercise, they're thinking a flat stomach. They think of squares. They're thinking of “looking hot” for your high school reunion . . . Dr. Church from the Cooper Institute in Texas said the benefit of being regularly physically active, 90% of it is from the neck up, which means neurologically, longer telomeres, better synaptic connections, less toxin buildup, better sleep.” (05:27—06:04)

“People who aren’t physically active are 1/10th as productive as people who are physically active.” (07:06—07:12)

“Michael Colgan, PhD, in a book called Save Your Brain, said by age 55, for most people who are physically inactive, which is basically 85% of the audience here . . . almost half of their mitochondria are no longer fully functioning.” (09:21—09:43)

“I don't think fitness costs anything. It’s an investment. Nutrition is an investment for me. My exercise equipment is an investment for me. My yoga mat is an investment for me. My Lululemon is an investment for me . . . Everything in your body that costs, it’s actually an investment, from my brain to my nutrition to my equipment.” (16:01—16:31)

“We weren't designed to sit. It literally shuts down our physiology. It shuts down breathing. And you're thinking, ‘Is that a big deal?’ Well, the brain, at three pounds, is the biggest oxygen hog. At three pounds, our brain uses 25% of the incoming oxygen. So, when you're sitting, your brain is being starved of oxygen.” (25:27—25:45)

“If you can't be in the top 2% in income, be in the top 2% in having a complete exercise program.” (36:34—36:40)
