About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of body intelligence and its importance in achieving long-term fitness progress.

People focus on doing the “right” technique. But if you really want long-term progress, it’s not about memorising movements, it’s about building them. Body intelligence is the ability to know, from the inside, if you’re moving well. It’s the awareness that tells you: Am I stable? Am I using the right muscles? Am I adapting to what my body needs today? I’ve used this framework with 10,000+ clients over 20 years and it's part of the BSFTMatrix on how to be safe, strong & sexy (and avoid the all-or-nothing trap). 🎯 Take the free BSFT Matrix quiz here → https://bsft-health-test.scoreapp.com ➡️ Join a Peak info session: https://www.bsft.com.au/peak 🔧 RESOURCES & LINKS 🔸Howard Gardner – Multiple Intelligences Theory (Background on Kinesthetic Intelligence) : https://multipleintelligences.org/ 🔸IG Dave Nixon → @‌davenixonflow 🔸 Substack → http://www.substack.com/@davenixonflow 🔸 Youtube→ https://www.youtube.com/@davenixonflow If you're visual and want to see how it maps out, you can watch the episode on YT --- 🧠 ABOUT DAVE Dave Nixon is an Author, TEDx Speaker, Entrepreneur and Coach with over 2 decades hands on experience.
