Regenerating Our Movements
Talking about exercise or physical education (PE) is not always popular! This topic can often remind us of school and how we had to play dodge ball, run on the school track until our sides hurt, be the last one picked to be on a kickball team, or lots of other unpleasant experiences we may have had as a kid. There are always those who were athletic in school but may now not be doing anything to keep their bodies fit. We often watch programs on TV and wish we could look like fitness models or be as fit as participants in the CrossFit Games! But we never imagine ourselves actually being able to do what it takes to look and be that strong. While it seems unattainable, we hope to make physical activity and health an achievable goal for anyone.
We don’t want Regenerative Movement to make people feel guilty or wish they could look a certain way. Instead, we want to show that it does not take as much time or energy as they imagine in order to increase the amount of movement one gets each day. We are the first to admit that being healthy and staying fit takes effort- you cannot increase your health if you are completely sedentary. But we want to show some inspiring stories of how people in very poor condition, in lots of pain and with advanced age, have been able to improve their physical fitness significantly without having to spend hours in the gym every day. We want to show how one may improve physical fitness even when they have been in chronic pain or suffered from poor health or physical condition for many years.
We also want to provide education, inspiration, and connect the dots between food, farming and medical wholeness. This includes being physically fit. We will do our research and find practitioners who understand that we can use a whole-body approach that includes the mind and motivation, what to eat and how to eat for the best physical condition, and is the most effective path to overall wellness. We hope to use the latest research to help anyone at any age improve their ability to move.
