3 Simple Tasks to Take Back Our Body & Improve Mobility Kelly Starrett
The BluePrint with Dr. Erik Korem
Is Your Body Not Moving?
Recent research shows that if you're not moving your body's getting out of whack. The easiest thing the cheapest thing to do is to start moving more and go for a 10-minute walk after every meal. Get a bar stool, stand on it when working at home or even just get up off the ground in order to help shape your environment.
We all need access to a range of motion to maintain overall health. But with today’s work-from-home model, that isn’t ideal, right? We hear from New York Times Bestseller Author, Coach, Physical Therapist, and Motivational Speaker Kelly Starrett how we can all shake up our system and shape our environment to work for us, not against us.

Quotable moments:
15:37 “First and foremost, let's establish that it's not sitting versus standing. It's moving versus not moving.”
17:11 “This isn't for exercise. This is just to lubricate your fascia. This is just to create enough non-exercise activity fatigue that you'll want to fall asleep later on. This is just enough movement to decongest, to move the lymphatics through the system, the natural sewage of your body.”
25:33 “And it turns out that a simple, mid-range, low exercise, low strength task is a nice predictor of your early mortality and morbidity.”

QUOTES
“The key is using stress and adapting to it and improving. That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem
"Stress is your brain and body preparing you to do something effortful." Dr. Alex Auerbach
“I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming, you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving, you’re a driver. If you’re leading, you’re by definition, a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to decide or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce
"Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl
“That’s what I’ve discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry
"Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem
"Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day! That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik Korem
