Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how you get that energy.

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: I thought, you know we know meant almost about listeners

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: know that when it comes to longevity, sleep, exercise, nutrition.

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: But there's something in your book that you write about

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: that actually piqued my interest, and that's the importance of mobility.

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: What's the link here? Why is mobility important?

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Mobility is so important to be alife?

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: Okay, let's like a lot of people have this in

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: mind and thinking mobility is stretch and mobility for me?

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: And is it strengthen your body and different ranges make

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: your body be able to move in different plans, going

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: low gates or such positions you'll never be in your

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: life and you will be able to be. And sometimes

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: you go into this position if not able to do it,

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: that's what the injuries come along. Lower back pain, hip pain,

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: doing on the knee, things like that. And on the

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: long term of life, we see like big problems into

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 4: knee replacements, hip replacement and help floor problems. Now as

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: females get the good stability across the pebble floor after

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: had one two, three babes have cesarean how few guys

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: I'm not, but I work with peel and then it's

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: a big thing I picked up. Now it's just strength.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: The area and strength different positions. As a female, they

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: have way more mobility than males. You very rare to

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: find some females they.

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: Know, very mobile, but talk about them.

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: As a long term we should have a good mobility

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: to just keeping going, like going up downstairs.

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean just things picking up the shopping.

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, simple things.

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: Just be able to bend to pick up a baby

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: in the floor. No, just pick up a fruit, want

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: to drop No, Just to avoid injuries. And the big

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: one is that lower back pain.

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: Now, tell us a bit about the test that you

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: write about that can almost predict your life span in

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: some ways, isn't it.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: It's it's just pretty much sit down the floor, cross

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: your legs and try to.

65
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 3: Stand up from there. No, and sounds so easy, it's

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: so easy.

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: But the main goal is just try to stand up

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: from that position without using any support, without use your hands,

69
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: without using like touch anything, knowing the wall or chair, nothing.

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 4: If you're able to stand up easy and come down

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: the same position easy, yeah, I could score ten for you.

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: That's perfect now, but I know majority of people cannot

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 4: do it.

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: And as a long term, have a couple of research.

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: They wrote a paper back to Europe and they move

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: down to Us and they could find people over sixty

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: five seventies.

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: If they're not able to stand up.

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: The floor, people could shut up their life because it's

80
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: a lot going on on the pelvic floor, a lot

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: of blood even I don't know if you heard before,

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: like a lot of people as getting like seventy five eighties.

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: If they break the heap is a big problem.

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of stress can start happen, a lot

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: of other injuries can come along in a short time.

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: What can we do now, you know, whether we're in

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: our twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, before.

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: We get to seventy to help increase our my ability?

89
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: Definitely we need the routine. That's a big thing. And

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 4: one thing I to everyone move every day, move for life.

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: So you don't need much like small routine ten minutes

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: every morning fifteen maximum thirty minutes if you get.

93
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: It right, exercise for who you are.

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: Your positions to improve all the joint movement, get a

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: better range, not even the joints. Your spine. No spine

96
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 4: is a big one for us. We need to sit.

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: Up and write. When you stand up and write, nopes.

98
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Someone em mentions.

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: That's funny how you just automately go okay, let's sit

100
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: up straight.

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: Yes, and that's why we will avoid a lot of

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: these injuries. Not only this, no, so we create more

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: fertility at the body. For the day, your body be

104
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: much happier with you. Give you a big smile for

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: the day, because if you have to catch something from

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: the floor, or if you be behind the desk all day, now,

107
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: that will help.

108
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 3: You to prevent a lot of injuries and make you

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: move better. No simple things.

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: It's so important. I mean when you were talking there,

111
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: I was thinking. So often we strive to, Oh, I

112
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: want to do the half marathon, or I have to

113
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: train for all this, but it often overshadows training for

114
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: the every day thinks like picking up the fruit off

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: the floor, and that is more important.

116
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: It is it is, it is.

117
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: It's just kind of thing like And that's when we

118
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: try to think about fitness and healthy.

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: Now I try to divide. I don't think if fitness

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: ended up and.

121
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 4: The healthy okay, so be healthy and just be able

122
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: to move without pain for entire life, for the goals

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: of for who you are. Fitnesses show off how hard

124
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: it can go and how big s expect you have

125
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: or big gas. So that's what's coming along a lot

126
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: these days and people forgetting about what's the important? What

127
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: is the sustability for your body for what you're doing

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: every single day? And like mobility work, it's importance definitely,

129
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: high intensed training is importance, but very short dosage, long

130
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: card is important. It is strength, it is no but everything.

131
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: How can be sustainable for.

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,320

Speaker 1: What do you do every day to increase your longevity?

134
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,599
