Dr. Kelly Starrett

So if someone were following me with a hidden camera for my, let's say, eight-hour workday, I would do a variety of things. I would get up and down off the floor and work sitting on the floor for a couple hours. And while I'm sitting on the floor, I'd probably be changing positions. I'd be sitting cross-legged 90-90. Long sit, like you'd see me constantly moving positions.

And then after a while, I'd move to my standing station. I'd stand at my standing station and practice my balance and maybe stretch my calves a little bit. And then after a few hours, I might feel tired. So I'll sit down and work for a few hours.

I'm always mixing it up. And so what you see in that setup is that I'm constantly in motion. I'm moving, getting up and down off the ground, fidgeting, changing positions, walking around, giving myself opportunity to move. And so that's what we think of as a movement-rich environment.

And the final thing I'll say is that I think we all know, and you've probably had other guests talk about this, we cannot rely on motivation anymore or willpower anymore. We have to set up our environment to make it easy to do the right thing. And so one of the things we know we want to do is create an environment where we automatically move more without even thinking about it.

I literally was like, I wonder, Kelly's obsessed with hip extension. And I was like, I wonder when he's going to find an opportunity to talk about hip extension.

They hate doing them because they're used to having their hips flexed all the time versus extended.

And I just want to, because we've talked a lot about the behavioral chapters and then a little bit about the sit and rise test, but there's two things I want to say on this sort of mobility piece. First of all, I want to define what we mean by mobility because I think it's poorly understood or people have never even heard the word.
