from Make Movement Matter with Wendy Welpton · host Wendy Welpton
There’s a longevity test that scores how you get up from the floor, and it’s putting people off the very movement that could change their lives. But what if the score isn’t the point? What if the variety of how you get up, and simply doing it at all, matters far more than hitting a perfect ten?In this Make Movement Matter Mini, we’re digging into floor sitting, get-ups, and what your body might be trying to tell you when it comes to midlife mobility, and why building that habit now could be one of the most important things you do for your future self.Join me on Wednesday 8th April for my workshop -Reclaiming the ground - A free, interactive movement workshop.
