When we're sitting down all day, especially if your posture is poor, you're physically and emotionally going to be more likely to be stagnant. Any exercise is medicine and with more or less good technique, there's really no bad exercise; there's only wrongly prescribed exercise. If you understand some movement principles, any movement can be an energizing activity." World-Renowned Human Performance Presenter, Division 1 Strength & Conditioning Coach, Kambo Facilitator, and Creator of the digital Kettlebell Lifestyle program, Mike Salemi, unpacks the concept of movement as medicine, how to cultivate body awareness, his advice for starting a brand new fitness program, and how our physical health impacts our emotional, spiritual, and mental wellbeing.
