Angela is joined by fitness expert Adam Richardson to discuss his unique approach to health and well-being, which contrasts with the common pursuit of optimisation.

Adam shares his personal journey from a background in sports to becoming a personal trainer, emphasising the importance of movement and the idea of "mobility snacks"—small, manageable bursts of activity throughout the day, as well as how to lay the foundations for building a body that will carry you through life.

Key Takeaways

Foundations of Mobility: Focus on hip and spine mobility for overall body health, as these areas are central to movement and stability.
Realistic Health Goals: Adam emphasises aiming for “good enough” health rather than striving for perfection, which can feel overwhelming or impractical.
Building Habits with Small Steps: Use habit-stacking techniques to add simple exercises, like neck circles or squats, into your daily routine.
Embrace Movement Variety: Moving regularly throughout the day, rather than staying still for long periods, can prevent stiffness and promote joint health.
The Role of Flexibility in Pain Relief: Adam shares insights on how improving flexibility gradually can alleviate tension and avoid injury.
