#78: Beyond the longevity test: Why movement variety matters more than getting up perfectly with Wendy Welpton
About this episode
Wendy Welpton discusses the importance of movement variety over perfect scores in longevity tests for midlife mobility.
There’s a longevity test that scores how you get up from the floor, and it’s putting people off the very movement that could change their lives. But what if the score isn’t the point? What if the variety of how you get up, and simply doing it at all, matters far more than hitting a perfect ten? In this Make Movement Matter Mini, we’re digging into floor sitting, get-ups, and what your body might be trying to tell you when it comes to midlife mobility, and why building that habit now could be one of the most important things you do for your future self.
