  • An interview with Simon Matthews, Director at the Global Positive Health Institute.

    We know that social, social connection, close relationships, lead to pro health choices, in other words, where we're more likely to make decisions about our health that are good for us when we're socially connected. And there's all sorts of mechanisms for that, including just the idea of social influence, including the idea of role modeling or vicarious learning.

  • An interview with Zoya Lehrer, Co-Founder and CEO of Orgo.

    So to not lose ourselves right in that runaround and to reflect our own yes, physical needs, but also mental and everything else that comes along with that definitely ties into the way that we think about overall the platform allowing to measure time accurately, and once we do, we can then start to make those better decisions for ourselves.

  • An interview with Kaitlin Brennan, Chief Operating Officer at Leveling the Playing Field.

    So in terms of impact, yeah, we recognize that it's more than a soccer ball. It's more than just a pair of cleats. What it really translates to is making sure that that kid has the resources he or she needs to be able to step onto the field comfortably, confidently and safely, to engage in something that could be, you know, a sport they're trying for the first time. It could be a physical education class where it's really the only opportunity they have to engage within organized play.

  • An interview with Petter Aasa, Co-Founder and CEO of Vitala.

    We are being prescribed as a mobile application to the patients, which is guiding them through daily physical activity that's completely based on the users’ unique combinations of their medical diagnosis and comorbidities, functional ability and physical capabilities, musculoskeletal pain levels, their varying daily form and, of course, their own goals and preferences.

    Physical education is the only equitable place where all children, children with disabilities, children from the general population, children from various cultures and communities, underserved populations. It's the only place where there's an equitable opportunity to learn every type of sport and be physically active throughout the school day.

  • An interview with Dr. Allie Riley, Chief Program Officer at Girls on the Run.

    And through that study, we saw 97% of girls develop critical life skills throughout the course of the program. A stat that I think this group of listeners will love is that girls who are least active at the beginning of the season increase their physical activity level by 40%. And they maintain that at the follow-up three months out.

  • An interview with Amy Rauworth, Chief Research and Innovation Officer at the Lakeshore Foundation.

    And I think that's really important to know that it takes a collective movement, and we all have things that we can contribute. But there's times where I need to step up and step back, and I need to stop with whatever I think might be the best health intervention or the evidence-based approach. And I just listen, and like you said, always center the voices of people with disabilities.

  • An interview with Mark Bayer, Founder at Bayer Strategic Consulting.

    With health and fitness, most people are kind of aware generally of what the issues are, right? So leading with the ask is so important, and making, and personalizing it as well. And even asking questions, you know, so it's not a monologue, right? If you just have your speech, and you're gonna deliver that you're gonna deliver that thing. You know, it's not as engaging as if you're talking, you vary your tone a little bit, maybe you pause, you ask an open ended question, things like that. But leading with the ask is the number one.

  • An interview with Liz Clark, President and CEO of the Health & Fitness Association.

    And it's something that again, all these lawmakers understand while they're whether they've maybe gone through something personally, or their kids have gone through something personally, or somebody they know and love. In some way, shape or form. I mean, all of us know people that are having mental health challenges. So I just think we have a tremendous opportunity as the as the Foundation Board to be doing more. More ties to that as the solution, more research to that as a solution. And to continue to just elevate that narrative, and then how we are an industry that's inclusive, we are an industry that's affordable.

  • An interview with Dr. Adel Korkor, Founder and CEO of the AB Korkor Foundation for Mental Health.

    It's because we are really accustomed to caring for disease, the diabetes, the hypertension, obesity, and all of these. And our healthcare system is really more centric around finding a new treatment for obesity, finding a new drug for diabetes, finding a new drug for hypertension, and not realizing why can’t we get to the root of a problem. Why can't we get back and say okay, you know what, dedicating 15, 20, 30 minutes of physical activity a day can spare us so much more.

  • An interview with Jason Sacks, President at Positive Coaching Alliance.

    And so I think we need to get organizations to understand and then more specifically, to be able to hold their coaches accountable of what is this culture that you want to create that's going to provide the best possible environment for kids. And in order for kids to feel connected, they need to feel safe, they need to feel seen, heard and valued when they come to that, that practice, that game, whatever it might be.

    This is a great chance for our industry folks and gyms to go out there and build partnerships and get a continual referral stream that has nothing to do with health insurance, co-pays and CPT codes. Just, hey, my doctor just prescribed this to me. He said I should really be lifting weights three or four days a week. How can you help? There’s another customer.

  • An interview with Malorie Polster, Physical Activity Advisor, and Katie Costello, ORISE Health Communications Fellow, at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.


    We've generally found that the main messages of Move Your Way, really promoting the social components of being active. People really do want to get active with their friends, with their family, they don't like to do it alone. And helping people find ways to be active that are really enjoyable or fit well into their lifestyles really do resonate across all of those audiences.

  • An interview with Emma Zwiebler, Interim CEO at the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry.


    But one of the key things for our work, particularly around physical activity, is the partnerships that we have. We very much believe that particularly in the case of physical inactivity levels globally, which I'm sure we'll come on to, it's not something that can be resolved by the industry alone. It can't be resolved by governments alone or by policymakers or NGOs. We have to find a way in which we can work together if we are to transform behavior on a global level.

  • An interview with Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Founder of The Cooper Institute and Founder and Chairman at the Cooper Aerobics Center.

    I've had hundreds of letters from people telling me I wish I'd known 20 years ago how much better I could feel. But once I got in shape and followed your recommendations, I felt the best I've ever felt in my life. Do you want to enjoy that type of life you're now maximizing your feelings and feeling good, you're not depressed, you're enthusiastic.

    Dr. Cooper advocates the following aerobic-strength training balance:

    If you’re 40 years old or younger, devote 80 percent of your workout time to aerobic training and 20 percent to strength training.If you’re 41 to 50 years old, shift to 70 percent aerobic and 30 percent strength work.If you’re 51 to 60, do 60 percent aerobic exercise and 40 percent strength training.After you pass 60, divide your workout time more evenly between the two strategies – while still giving an edge to aerobic exercise, which provides the most health benefits: 55 percent aerobic work and 45 percent strength work.

  • An interview with Dr. Tyler Spencer, Founder and Executive Director at Grassroots Health.

    Yes, physical activity is an absolute core component of every single element of the curriculum. And you're exactly right, physical activity for many students is a hook to be, to want to be involved, to have fun, to engage with the curriculum. Physical activity, I think probably for the audience of this podcast, is also a method for helping students retain the information. It's also helpful for keeping students focused throughout the school day, being able to move their bodies.

  • An interview with Tom Farrey, Founder and Executive Director of the Sports & Society Program at The Aspen Institute.


    And that led to me wanting to solve the problems that were identified in the book. Specifically, how can we be the world's sports superpower while still only, we know, one out of every four or five kids are actually physically active enough. I mean, what was the disconnect with our system? So I had all of this knowledge, all of these insights around policies and sports structure and governance and parent matters, and physiology and on and on and on, and I was like, look, I got to do something with this, someone's got to build a better sport system.

  • An interview with Debbie Bellenger, Founder/CEO of DB Fitness and Wellness Solutions LLC.


    I think employees’ voice equals employee choice. And because employees are looking for some of the things that improve mental health, meditation, breathing, yoga, Pilates, walking in nature, forest bathing, hiking, cold plunge. These are all gaining a great deal of interest and momentum. A lot more interest in outdoor activity, hiking, biking, walking, very exciting times. So it I think we're going to see a lot of innovation in corporate wellness in these next several years. Because what we've done in the past will maybe not necessarily suit employees’ needs with this changed work environment and changed interests of our consumers which drive a lot of what it is that we need to provide.

  • An interview with Ashley Hunter, Founder and Executive Director at the Fit Kids Foundation.


    But all kids, all people need to move and have that physical literacy for their lives. And when you help young kids, young people, learn those movements, learn to love being active, learn that it feels really good on your body and your mind when you move your body. They grow into adults who feel the same way and continue those behaviors. It's sort of like learning a language.
