About this episode

Wendy Welpton discusses how to build a travel-ready body through everyday movements and the importance of preparing for adventures in advance.

We talk about future adventures as if they’re guaranteed. But if our capability isn’t, we need to start thinking about that today. In this mini episode, I unpack some everyday movements that can determine whether we stay capable of adventure, and why they need to be rehearsed long before the trip is booked. What does a ‘travel body’ really require?Which abilities can fade in modern life?And how do you build them naturally, without living in the gym? And as ever, because it’s a mini, I get you moving in one of those ways. If you care about staying able, not just staying active, this episode will get you thinking about what you’re building now… and what it’s building you for.
