Dr. Kelly Starrett

Didn't have access as a kid, didn't come from a family that valued this.

My only experience with physical education was PE in the 80s, like not great, right?

And so suddenly you realize that like, hey, I don't even identify, I identify as a creative person.

Like I haven't even had the access to, I'm a woman, I'm not a boy.

Like suddenly where you can see that there are a whole lot of reasons that people suddenly get the message where they're like, what do you mean my body density is bad?

What do you mean that I'm losing muscle?

What do you mean I'm pre-diabetic?

And we're starting to see that in a lot of women in their 50s in our neighborhood who are, they're like, hey, I'm skinny and I've been running or walking, speed hiking forever and calorie restricting because I want to be a certain way that the universe is telling me I need to be for good or for bad.

I'm going to say for bad.

And lo and behold, it doesn't hold up against that test.

Right.

Right.

Like, hey, we'll take what you're doing and let's third party validate it.

And for whatever reason, the messages we got don't comport with what you're saying, which is, hey, how can we engage with each other more and more?

How do we how do we change that society?

You know, we were just said I mentioned we were just at University of Hawaii and the Queens grounds there, the Queens Park was packed with people just outside walking, throwing, playing soccer and really.

This is almost a cultural problem.

As long as it's my house and Costco and then work and then that's all I go and see.

And then I have some formal thing that I do twice a week.

We're never going to solve the problem.
