The MOVEMENT Movement

This was one of our most listened to episodes from season one. We would like to share with you again, what are 'Minimal Barefoot Shoes'?

You may have heard about minimalist shoes or barefoot shoes. Do you want them? Which ones do you get, which are good, which are bad, which aren't even what they say they are? That's what we're going to find out in today's podcast.

Welcome to The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a healthy, happy, strong body, and The MOVEMENT Movement podcast. We're going to be cutting through the mythology, the confusion, the propaganda, sometimes the outright lies that people tell you that keep you from enjoying doing what bodies like to do, which is move. Walk, run, swim, hike, play, lift, whatever your body likes to do. We're here to have you do that. I always like to say, let's start The MOVEMENT Movement with some moving. So, do something. Anything. What you want to do, whenever you can, for moving is break out of patterns that you've already had.

If you don't know physics, you shouldn't be buying running shoes. I will tell you why, and I'm also going to teach you a little bit of physics, enough to be really obnoxious at parties. And just a few minutes here on this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with the feet first, cause those things are your foundation.

Here's where we break down the propaganda, the mythology, sometimes the outright lies that you've been told about what it takes to run, to walk, to hike, to dance, to do CrossFit, to do yoga, to power, lift, to do dance, dance, revolution, whatever it is that you like to do and do that enjoyably healthily and efficiently.

If there was just science proving that running barefoot, or in truly minimalist footwear was good for you, then everybody was switch, right? Okay. We're going to take a look at that in today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with your feet first, because those things are your foundation.

Nike sponsored a study, they call it an independent study that they sponsored, which in and of itself is kind of fascinating. I talked about it, the React Infinity Run and they said that that shoe reduces injury rates by over 50% and if you look at the research, I just saw the abstract. I didn't see the entire research paper, but according to the abstract that the researcher gave me, it's true that that shoe reduced injury rates by 50% but that's not the important part. The important part is what they did is, they compared people in that shoe to people in Nike's best selling motion controlled running shoe and yes, the React Infinity Run, the people running in it had a 50% lower injury rate than the people in the other shoe.

This is during a 12 week half marathon training program and people in the other shoe, over 30% of them got injured in 12 weeks, actually in less than 12 weeks because the only way that they could have done the study or qualified as injured is having something like three or more missed sessions in a row. So basically it had to be no more than 10 maybe 11 weeks tops, roughly 10 weeks. So in less than 10 weeks, approximately over 30% of the people who got injured in the best selling motion control running shoe and in the React Infinity, okay, about 15% got injured. How is this good?

You've just gotten out of big, thick, padded motion control shoes. Maybe you're running barefoot, maybe you're running in a truly minimal shoe, like Xero Shoes. You've had incredible experiences. Injuries might have gone away. You feel better, you're having more fun. So you want to tell everyone, right? Yeah. Shut up. Don't do that.

We're going to talk about why on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body, starting with the feet first.
