How To Craft Your Perfect Movement Plan w/ Katy Bowman

In this episode of the Restore To Explore podcast, Katy Bowman discusses her new book, 'My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook' and the concept of a movement diet. She explains that the book introduces the concept of movement nutrition and provides a framework for building a comprehensive movement plan. The movement diet is similar to a food diet, with movement calories representing the volume of movement, movement macros representing the larger whole body shapes, and movement micros representing the smaller movements of the body. Katy emphasizes the importance of considering purposeful, functional, and meaningful movement in the movement plan, and introduces the SLOTH time budget model to help categorize movements into different domains. The conversation covers various topics related to movement, sleep, and navigating the landscape of health and fitness advice. Jim and Katy discuss the importance of movement in daily life and how it can be incorporated into different activities. They also explore the impact of sleep on movement and the role of pressure in our bodies. They emphasize the need for intentionality and deeper engagement with information, rather than just consuming it passively. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the power of handwriting and the benefits of taking a slower approach to learning and implementing new practices. Guest Links: You can find Katy's book at her website here.Follow Katy's YouTube channel here.
