Why is my body confused instead of broken?

Roger Frampton 0:00
Everyone had the same message. As you get older, your body declines and there's nothing you can do about it. I just want people to realise the truth. Studies have proven that regardless of age, you can make phenomenal changes to your body.
Unknown 0:14
Where do we start going wrong?
Roger Frampton 0:15
Well, we know if we want to live longer, you have to.

How can we future-proof our joints?

Roger Frampton 0:18
I got scouted as a model, and then someone said, you never wear a white T-shirt, sort your body out. But that literally changed my world, because then I started exploring body weight, and it eventually led me to movement. We teach a kid in terms of their movement.

What mistakes do we make with our joints and ligaments?

Roger Frampton 0:31
Don't fidget, sit still. That's decades of change, away from moving naturally. Decades. All right. A decade, did I say that? I try and test every single potential movement that I could possibly do apart from the one where my body says no. And it really gets people attentive to feeling their body.
Unknown 0:52
You've slightly given me a light bulb moment.

How does modern culture affect our natural movement?

Unknown 0:54
Yeah.
Roger Frampton 0:55
You can train your body to do anything.
Unknown 0:57
Wow.
Roger Frampton 0:58
Step one is...
Unknown 1:00
So I'm here with Roger Frampton who is going to talk to us about mobility, flexibility and the importance of that and how really from when we are born we are almost immediately learning bad habits that then can just give us enormous problems in the future and how to combat that in quite a simple way really but that in In a funny kind of way, modern exercise really is doing us a disservice and there are many things that we can do to help. And he's got the answers.
Roger Frampton 1:36
I don't have all the answers, but I have some. I have some. I have some. Yes.

What is the importance of balance in movement?

Roger Frampton 1:41
Not just from my own experience, but from what I have observed in the world. And yeah, I'm more than happy to share them with you and chat to you because you are so in this space. Your space is helping people in their midlife. And this tends to also cross over with being a time where People really start to be aware of how they're feeling and how they're moving and achy joints and noisy joints. And they start to be, oh, hang on, what's happening here?
Unknown 2:11
I mean, I'm hearing that from everywhere. Everywhere I look, everywhere I listen, I see it, I hear it. It's really interesting. I call this kind of time of our lives being in sniper's alley. Something's coming for us and we can feel it. And there's a lot I want to talk to you about.

How can mindfulness enhance our movement practice?

Unknown 2:30
There's, in particular, an amazing French woman who, I don't know, is 102, 103, something like that, and still doing yoga. I can't wait to talk about her. But I'd like to start off when you were talking about how you realized how important posture and your body was. And actually, you started life and career as a male model. And I particularly love that because I was a male model agent. So how did you come to be a model? Like, how did you get discovered?

What does training for your 80-year-old self look like?

Unknown 3:00
Was it you and your brother at the same time or?
Roger Frampton 3:03
No, I was, well, I was a carpenter when I was younger, like Jesus. And just saying, just thrown out there.
Unknown 3:14
That's a great line.
Roger Frampton 3:14
Just telling you.

How can we change the movement culture for future generations?

Roger Frampton 3:19
I also had a part-time job in a bar. Yeah, not like Jesus.
Davina McCall 3:23
No, no.
Roger Frampton 3:25
And, yeah, I got scouted. And so I was just doing an NVQ in carpentry. That was my world. I was working in building sites. It was, you know, years ago when Canary Wharf was first going up. Wow. And that was my world. And I also wanted to have a spare time job. And then, yeah, I got scouted. Someone came in. They were like, we think you do well as a model. And I was like, okay, cool. And then I went into, I was with Select Models. Yeah. And went in there. There was no digital. No. Polaroids. Made me a little book of black and white pictures. Gave me an A to Z. Yeah. Sent me around London into this weird world of people taking pictures of you in different outfits.
Unknown 4:02
And we all know that obviously there is an expectation on you to look good. But when you were younger, when you were young, young, who was your pinup then?
Roger Frampton 4:16
Well, I grew up around 90s movies, right? So, Jean-Claude Van Damme. These are the names. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone. These are the kind of people that I look up to. They're the hero. They got the girl.
