When\u2019s the last time you rocked, rolled, or did a set of head nods?
\nThese sound like things you might do at a heavy metal concert (RIP shows and in-person events), but I\u2019m referring to simple exercises and movements you may want to incorporate into your routine.
\nAccording to my guest on this podcast, Tim Anderson, these movements act as a sort of \u201creset\u201d that you can use to improve movement quality, reduce pain, improve your sleep, and even lift more weight in the gym.
\nI\u2019ll let Tim get into the nitty-gritty details, but the basic idea is that as we age and spend years of our lives sitting and sedentary, we forget how to move properly. Tim\u2019s \u201cresets\u201d are ways we can restore the original strength and movement patterns we learned when we first started to walk as babies. And I appreciate his unique take on mobility and movement.
\nIn case you\u2019re not familiar with Tim, he\u2019s the co-founder of Original Strength where he\u2019s made a career out of helping people young and old improve movement patterns and quality, get strong and healthy, and live better. He\u2019s also an accomplished author, having written several books on the subject.
\nIn our discussion, we talk about . . .
