<v Speaker 3>Thank you for Felicity. Thank you very much. You have me.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I have to say, you've got these lovely calming aura

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>about your listeners. I mean, you can't say it, but

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you can feel it. You've got great energy.

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, thank you.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about how you get that energy.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it.

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you know we know meant almost about listeners

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 2>know that when it comes to longevity, sleep, exercise, nutrition.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>But there's something in your book that you write about

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>that actually piqued my interest, and that's the importance of mobility.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>What's the link here? Why is mobility important?

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Mobility is so important to be alife?

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, let's like a lot of people have this in

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 4>mind and thinking mobility is stretch and mobility for me?

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 4>And is it strengthen your body and different ranges make

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 4>your body be able to move in different plans, going

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 4>low gates or such positions you'll never be in your

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 4>life and you will be able to be. And sometimes

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 4>you go into this position if not able to do it,

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>that's what the injuries come along. Lower back pain, hip pain,

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 4>doing on the knee, things like that. And on the

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 4>long term of life, we see like big problems into

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 4>knee replacements, hip replacement and help floor problems. Now as

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 4>females get the good stability across the pebble floor after

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 4>had one two, three babes have cesarean how few guys

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm not, but I work with peel and then it's

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 4>a big thing I picked up. Now it's just strength.

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 4>The area and strength different positions. As a female, they

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 4>have way more mobility than males. You very rare to

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 4>find some females they.

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Know, very mobile, but talk about them.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 4>As a long term we should have a good mobility

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 4>to just keeping going, like going up downstairs.

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean just things picking up the shopping.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, simple things.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Just be able to bend to pick up a baby

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 4>in the floor. No, just pick up a fruit, want

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 4>to drop No, Just to avoid injuries. And the big

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 4>one is that lower back pain.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, tell us a bit about the test that you

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>write about that can almost predict your life span in

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>some ways, isn't it.

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 4>It's it's just pretty much sit down the floor, cross

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 4>your legs and try to.

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 3>Stand up from there. No, and sounds so easy, it's

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 3>so easy.

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 4>But the main goal is just try to stand up

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 4>from that position without using any support, without use your hands,

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 4>without using like touch anything, knowing the wall or chair, nothing.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 4>If you're able to stand up easy and come down

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 4>the same position easy, yeah, I could score ten for you.

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 4>That's perfect now, but I know majority of people cannot

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 4>do it.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 3>And as a long term, have a couple of research.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 4>They wrote a paper back to Europe and they move

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 4>down to Us and they could find people over sixty

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 4>five seventies.

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 3>If they're not able to stand up.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 4>The floor, people could shut up their life because it's

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 4>a lot going on on the pelvic floor, a lot

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 4>of blood even I don't know if you heard before,

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 4>like a lot of people as getting like seventy five eighties.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 3>If they break the heap is a big problem.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a lot of stress can start happen, a lot

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 4>of other injuries can come along in a short time.

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>What can we do now, you know, whether we're in

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>our twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, before.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>We get to seventy to help increase our my ability?

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Definitely we need the routine. That's a big thing. And

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 4>one thing I to everyone move every day, move for life.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>So you don't need much like small routine ten minutes

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 4>every morning fifteen maximum thirty minutes if you get.

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 3>It right, exercise for who you are.

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 4>Your positions to improve all the joint movement, get a

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 4>better range, not even the joints. Your spine. No spine

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 4>is a big one for us. We need to sit.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Up and write. When you stand up and write, nopes.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Someone em mentions.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>That's funny how you just automately go okay, let's sit

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>up straight.

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and that's why we will avoid a lot of

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 4>these injuries. Not only this, no, so we create more

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 4>fertility at the body. For the day, your body be

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 4>much happier with you. Give you a big smile for

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 4>the day, because if you have to catch something from

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 4>the floor, or if you be behind the desk all day, now,

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 4>that will help.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 3>You to prevent a lot of injuries and make you

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 3>move better. No simple things.

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It's so important. I mean when you were talking there,

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking. So often we strive to, Oh, I

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>want to do the half marathon, or I have to

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 2>train for all this, but it often overshadows training for

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the every day thinks like picking up the fruit off

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 2>the floor, and that is more important.

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 3>It is it is, it is.

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 4>It's just kind of thing like And that's when we

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 4>try to think about fitness and healthy.

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Now I try to divide. I don't think if fitness

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 3>ended up and.

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.799
<v Speaker 4>The healthy okay, so be healthy and just be able

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 4>to move without pain for entire life, for the goals

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 4>of for who you are. Fitnesses show off how hard

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 4>it can go and how big s expect you have

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 4>or big gas. So that's what's coming along a lot

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 4>these days and people forgetting about what's the important? What

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 4>is the sustability for your body for what you're doing

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 4>every single day? And like mobility work, it's importance definitely,

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 4>high intensed training is importance, but very short dosage, long

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 4>card is important. It is strength, it is no but everything.

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 4>How can be sustainable for.

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 3>A whole life?

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you do every day to increase your longevity?

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't forget about my routine.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so my morning routine is just moved my whole

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 4>body as a good way to create the mobility.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 3>And make sure I switching all my muscle What do

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 3>you do?

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 4>I have a small routine during the morning, said exercise

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I do. I'm sharing in the book so for everyone

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 4>be able to do it now so if they don't

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.840
