If you’ve got soccer games to attend, instead of sitting or standing in place for 90 minutes, here are 5 things you can do to increase the movement density of your time spent on the sidelines.
Watch the game while walking around the field perimeter
This has been a game changer for me. Not only do I get an extra hour of walking, I’m able to focus better on the game. Plus, to keep my eyes on the game, some of my walking is backwards, which mixes up muscle use a bit. My dog likes the extra walking too, as do friends that join me every now and then.

Retreats are different from vacations, where you’re looking to just get away. They are time set aside from the regular grind and dedicated to practicing something—like meditation—that you don’t often have the time to focus on in daily life.
My upcoming movement retreat is May 17–19, at the Art of Living Center in North Carolina—'Healing Your Sole: A Stepwise Approach to Building Forever Functional Feet.'
Watch the video below to hear me explain why I think retreats are important, and a bit about what we'll cover, and why foot health is important to whole-body health.

Movement nutrients need to balance like dietary nutrients do—balance over our bodies but also be in balance with our personal preferences, i.e. what we find meaningful and functional for our individual lives.
This practical workbook is a tool that anyone can use to track how you are moving, how you aren’t movi ..read more

March 5, Katy Bowman and Jill Miller will be leading a live, online masterclass, all about breast and chest movement. More details at the end of the article.
Breast discomfort and pain show up again and again in the top reasons people shy away from exercise: they’re fourth after energy/motivation, time, and health. There are many factors at play; I’m here to talk about the mechanics and how we can think about loads and what’s going on in different parts of the breast and the surrounding parts when we move.
Breasts move all over the place. Not only up-and-down and side-to-side but also in and ..read more
