#7 – You’re Sitting Too Much (And It’s Ruining Your Body)

Descripción

Mark Broadbent sits down with Wendy Welpton to break down why going to the gym isn’t enough to fix your body. They dive into how your daily movement habits—not your workouts—are the real driver of stiffness, pain, and long-term function. If you sit most of the day, this episode will change how you think about movement forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS: * One hour in the gym can’t undo 23 hours of inactivity * Your body adapts to how you move most—not how you train occasionally * Movement throughout the day matters more than intensity * “Movement snacks” and habit stacking are game changers * Ground-based movement is one of the most missing elements * Stiffness and pain often come from lack of variety, not lack of effort * Modern comfort (chairs, shoes, screens) is driving dysfunction * Every movement counts—small changes compound over time BEST MOMENTS: * “One hour in the gym isn’t going to compensate for 23 hours not moving.” * “Every movement counts.” * “We are supposed to move, not stay in any position for a long period of time.” * “Your body is constantly adapting to what you do most.” * “If your baseline function isn’t good, you’re asking for trouble.” LINKS: Website: www.movebetter.club⁠ [https://www.movebetter.club] Email: Mark@MoveBetter.Club Wendy Welpton: Instagram: @reclaim.movement [https://www.instagram.com/reclaim.movement/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Website: Reclaim Movement [https://www.reclaimmovement.co.uk?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Book: Move Well For Life [https://amzn.to/3PNU3sS] ABOUT THE HOSTS: Mark Broadbent is a health and movement coach with 20+ years in the fitness industry.

#10 - Why Strength Alone Isn’t Enough | Natural Movement, Mobility & Functional Fitness with MovNat

Is lifting heavier really the answer to better movement, better health, and fewer injuries? In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, Mark Broadbent sits down with Brian Betancourt, Director of Performance at MovNat, to explore why modern fitness may be missing the bigger picture. They discuss the difference between training and movement practice, why movement is fundamentally problem-solving, and how specialising in a handful of gym exercises can actually limit human capability. Brian explains why crawling, getting up from the floor, carrying awkward objects, and developing movement variety may be more valuable than chasing bigger numbers on the barbell. The conversation covers functional fitness, kettlebells, Turkish get-ups, injury prevention, motor learning, movement variability, strength training myths, Animal Flow, mobility, and how developing multiple movement solutions can help you stay resilient, capable, and athletic for life. In This Episode: * Why movement is fundamentally problem-solving * The limitations of squat, bench, and deadlift-only training * How movement variety reduces injury risk * Why crawling remains one of the most important human movement patterns * The truth about functional fitness * Turkish get-ups, kettlebells, and real-world strength * Why getting up from the floor may be the most important movement skill you can develop * How to train for longevity, adaptability, and resilience About Brian Brian Betancourt is the Director of Performance at MovNat, a Certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), strength and conditioning coach, educator, and author.
