The Power of Movement and How to Develop a Personal Movement Program

Now, perhaps more than ever, it is important to move. On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, Brad and Steve go deep on the diverse and far-ranging benefits of movement, including improved physical health, sleep, sleep, cognitive function, emotional health, and creativity. Then, they offer a framework for how to develop a personal movement practice. They examine why complex does not mean better, how to get the most out of an in-home workout, and what programs might look like for those focused on aerobic, those focused on strength, and those in between. As a special treat, you’ll hear from Steve about whether he intends to train hard again to compete in running at the highest levels.
