Got tennis elbow? Me too. Here’s what I’m doing based on the excellent Dr Keith Barr interview on a recent Tim Ferriss episode. https://vimeo.com/1069892711/4a2da3efbf?share=copy

Remember, they want you to hate your body. Female insecurity plays into the capitalist agenda and distracts us from what’s really going on.

Step ups are amazing for knee health because they build your thigh muscles. Strong thighs absorb shock and protect your cartilage. Best done with a friendly dog 😂

This simple alignment change can transform your core, breathing patterns, back pain and pelvic floor health. Drop your ribs! Need help? Try this free video mini series: https://bit.ly/3snWjLZ

Is walking on texture with flexible soled footwear the best foot exercise you’re not doing? Texture mobilizes & strengthens the small stuff in your feet that gets sad from conventional shoes. If you want more 🔥 foot restoration exercises, try my free foot program: https://bit.ly/400fure

This is SO good! Highly recommended if you have tendons!

Quick scrolling tip: get yourself a tripod and squat while you scroll! Obv works without a tripod too but this way is better for your neck! Click here for squatting help: https://bit.ly/48Iy0bi

The best, easiest way to start hanging - great for your chest, shoulders, breast tissues, breathing, posture & pelvic floor. With or without your AM coffee! #sidehang

Try this as your next computer break. The key is to keep your low ribs lifted so the load goes to your upper back. Watch this if you aren’t sure how to manage your ribs: https://bit.ly/3snWjLZ #thoracicstretch

Save your hips from sitting or driving! Step up & come to tiptoe on your back stretching leg. Squeeze your butt to stretch the front of your hip. Then lift your arms - try side bends & rotation. So 🔥! Want more anytime moves? Try my Mini Moves program: https://bit.ly/40hsTgp

Sitting in a chair all day? Missed opportunity! 🚀 Sitting on the floor = easy mobility, muscle & metabolic benefits—no extra workouts needed. Too stiff? No worries! My guide + video tutorials will help 👉 https://bit.ly/46lrDtI

Oh yay! Soooo excited for Flashes! Let’s get moving!!

Gentle reminder that your body isn't just about your genes - it's the interplay between your genetic potential and the way you've moved your entire life. You can't change your genes but you CAN change how you move 😘 (can you tell I'm re-reading Move Your DNA by Katy Bowman)?!

When I asked my newsletter community what they most needed help with, the overwhelming majority said HIPS! So, I’ve gotcha in my upcoming live workshop, Help For Tight Hips. All the details right here: bit.ly/3WPIdz0

Feeling stiff when you sit or stand? Our bodies need VERY frequent changes of position - there's some evidence that says we start building up inflammation in our tissues after only 10 to 15 minutes of stillness. Here's some ways to make your standing desk more body friendly: bit.ly/4ia3exi

Friendly reminder that your feet need to pronate- it’s necessary and helpful, not a problem to fix. Your feet may have forgotten it though. Learn how here: bit.ly/423wApe

Just wondering why we don’t call anti-vaxxers the ‘pro-smallpoxers’ 🤔

Struggling with body stuff right now? You aren't alone - but you have reason to hope! Our bodies are amazing & the biggest limit to positive change is how much you want to invest in exploring! Be kind, careful and committed and you will see changes and learn a lot along the way!

When it comes to the movement our bodies need, you can boil it down like this: move more of your parts, more ways, more often.

how many of us are sitting right now and have a couple days of grading to do tied to a computer? guess I should schedule a walk soon.

What if we all stopped working out because of how we want to look, and started moving our bodies because of how it makes us feel? 🤔 What might change?

I want shoes that let my feet work like feet. That means: - flat sole, no heel rise or toe spring - thin, flexible sole - fully attached to my foot - wide toe box so my bones aren’t squashed If you’re new to minimal shoes, start with a thicker sole & do foot exercises. Any other shoe is damaging.

I can’t get enough of the oranges around here #southernmorocco

Everything is a whole body, whole lifestyle issue. Your foot pain isn't just about your feet. Your hip pain isn't just about your hips. Trying to treat a whole body systemic movement deficit with exercises targeted for a single body part is never going to work how you are hoping.

I told @bsky.app that I wanted to see stuff about sports because they didn’t give me any health & fitness options to follow and now I keep seeing posts about football teams. Ooops. Any good movement/mobility/health/fitness accounts you can recommend?

If it’s reasonable preventative health care to brush our teeth twice a day, then I think it’s pretty reasonable that we should also try to move all our joints in a full range of motion every day too!
