#39. Gill & Andrew. Bridging the Gap Between the Gym and Real Life
from Playful Nature Podcast by WildStrong · host WildStrong
We could have called this - everything we've learned by making a bunch a mistakes. When we first started running sessions for older populations, they did what most coaches do - a lot of research. Then we scaled recommended exercises and tried to help people move “correctly.”And it didn’t work..Working with older adults quickly exposed a gap between what looks good on paper and easily quantifiable… and what works in class setting with populations who may have little to no exercise history. This episode is a reflection on those early mistakes — and how they led to a completely different way of thinking about movement, coaching, and health.From that process, Nature Moves emerged.Not as a predefined system, but as something shaped through trial, error, and paying attention to what helped people keep moving.Here's a link to the webinar we ran recently on this.
