#98: Beyond the balance score: Judging your movement by joy with Wendy Welpton
The question of how long you can stand on one leg; is it the most useful thing you can ask yourself. So much of how we judge our movement comes down to a number: how long, how far, how much. At what point do we stop asking whether we're enjoying it?In this mini episode I share a simple way to look at your movement differently, with three colours and no scores, from chapter nine of Move Well for Life. We play with a little balance practice together, and I'd love you to notice what colour it is for you. If you've ever caught yourself counting instead of enjoying movement, this is one to listen to.Chapters00:05 Why balance is more than standing on one leg01:41 When the numbers take over, from trackers to my running story06:03 Green, amber and red: noticing the joy in movement08:19 Treating limits as information, not failure11:02 Try a playful single-leg wobble12:57 Reflect without judgment and choose playfulnessFor the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastFancy a little experiment?What if your ordinary day held more movement than you realised?‘The Everyday Experiment’ helps you see your day differently.

#97 What Your Bones Tell Your Brain: Everyday Movement, Memory and Confidence with Caroline Williams
What if the exercise box you tick each week isn’t the whole story for your brain?As we head towards episode 100, I’ve been looking back at some of my favourite moments from the show for some Make Movement Matter Minis. And I couldn’t start anywhere other than the very beginning.My first ever guest was science journalist Caroline Williams, author of Move! and Inner Sense. Both of her episodes are still among the most listened to on the podcast, and hearing this clip again reminded me exactly why.We talk about what all that sitting might be doing to our brains, even for people who exercise regularly. Caroline shares a discovery about our bones that I find fascinating, and we get into why so many of us left school convinced that moving “just wasn’t for us”.Then we turn to confidence. What can getting stronger do for parts of life that have nothing to do with muscles? And why does the brain sometimes put the brakes on before the body needs it to?Chapters00:00 Looking back to where it all began01:18 Why the gym doesn’t cancel out sitting04:47 Movement, memory and a surprising hormone07:16 When moving doesn’t feel good (yet)11:07 Stronger body, stronger confidence13:30 Fear, falling and the brain’s safety brakesTo find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastFancy a little experiment?What if your ordinary day held more movement than you realised?‘The Everyday Experiment’ helps you see your day differently.

#96: There's no wrong way to move: Why your body needs more shapes with Wendy Welpton
What if there's no such thing as moving the wrong way?I hear "I pulled my back because I did something the wrong way" so often, and every time it makes me wonder whether we're asking the right question. What was your body actually ready for?In this mini episode I share what taking up padel and joining a new dance class have shown me, and why one listener's email about the stairs was the spark for the whole conversation. If you want to keep doing the things you love for years to come, this is a different way to think about midlife mobility and movement variety. As always with my solo mini episodes, there's a quick movement to try at the end too.Chapters00:00 Rethinking right and wrong movement01:23 The sphere around your body04:44 Why new activities can catch us out07:55 Finding new shapes through dance10:40 Stamping, impact and moving like our ancestors14:28 Podcast move: compass reachesTo find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastFancy a little experiment?What if your ordinary day held more movement than you realised?‘The Everyday Experiment’ helps you see your day differently.

#95: From burnout to building fires: The human KPIs no wearable can measure with Kate Drewett
When was the last time you asked yourself how you're really doing, and waited for an honest answer? Kate Drewett spent almost 30 years at the sharp end of digital marketing, working on the project she felt her whole career had been building towards. On paper it was the dream job. Then, on New Year's Day, her mum put a hand on her arm and asked her one simple question.We talk about the signs we stop noticing when life gets busy, why tracking every step and sleep score doesn't necessarily help us tune in, and what Kate sees in people when they swap the desk for a log by the fire. If you've ever wondered whether your body has been trying to tell you something, or whether getting outdoors could do more for your wellbeing than you'd expect, this conversation might change how you check in with yourself.Chapters00:00 A day in the woods now02:14 The 6am train to Paddington03:32 When the dream job stopped being fun06:30 The body signs she didn't notice10:01 The question that changed everything11:56 Walking away and sleeping for weeks15:13 How Fat Squirrel found her17:46 From needing help to lifting 20 kilos22:06 Why people open up round a campfire29:25 Human KPIs and the trouble with wearables33:31 Small changes when you can't walk away41:35 What she'd say to her younger selfTo find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastFancy a little experiment?What if your ordinary day held more movement than you realised?‘The Everyday Experiment’ helps you see your day differently.

#94: Goal setting for your body, not the boardroom with Wendy Welpton
Goal setting was built for the boardroom. So does it work for your body?I’ve recently welcomed the latest group to my eight-week signature programme, Reclaim Everyday Ease, and it got me thinking about the SMART framework so many of us have heard of from work. I took it apart through the movement lens, using one skill lots of you want to improve: getting up and down from the ground.I'll share why I put the letters in a different order, the one I push back on, and the question I think matters more than any target. There's also a simple movement you can start working on at your door handle or kitchen sink, which might help if your goal is getting up and down from the ground. If you've ever set yourself a movement goal and wondered why it didn't stick, this one's for you.For the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastFancy a little experiment?What if your ordinary day held more movement than you realised?‘The Everyday Experiment’ helps you see your day differently.

#93: Chris Hobson on training for real life: marathons, powerlifting and retiring into a whole new career
What if the version of yourself you're most afraid of is the one you never actually have to become?In this episode, I'm joined by Chris Hobson, a former headteacher who didn't take up running until she was well into her sixties, and has since completed over 125 marathons across all seven continents, becoming a Guinness World Record holder along the way.We talk about the "black hole" she felt she was staring into at retirement, the sentence from her mother-in-law that shaped her whole career, and how an injury led her to discover powerlifting, where she can now deadlift one and a half times her bodyweight.We also get into her unexpected second act as a digital creator in her seventies, why some of her posts have reached millions of views, and what she'd say to anyone who feels like life has narrowed rather than opened up.Whether you're approaching retirement, feeling stuck, or just want to know what's really possible later in life, this one is for you.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:The Make Movement Matter PodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.

#92: What her wrists were telling her: Reading your body's signals differently with Wendy Welpton
Excited to be back for Season 8 of the Make Movement Matter podcast. This week it's a mini solo episode. A question from a workshop this week stopped me in my tracks. Someone told me her wrists hurt when she gets up from the ground, and asked if she should just stop putting weight on them. My answer surprised her, but also the question made me realise how so many frame discomfort negatively and fearfully. In this solo episode I'm talking about what discomfort can actually be trying to tell us, and why avoiding it could do more harm than good. As in all the minis, there’s a movement for the wrists of course. And as I mention my signature course Reclaim Everyday Ease starting next week - if you would like more information then please click here :https://www.reclaimmovement.co.uk/reclaim-everyday-ease/For the full show notes, visit: The Make Movement Matter PodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.
