DO THIS EVERYDAY To Completely Transform YOUR HEALTH! | Helen Hall & Rangan Chatterjee

[@EVDaysOut]

I started listening to the most recent podcast with Helen, and then came to listen to this first. Have ordered her book. Such good timing for me as I start on my walk/slow run journey again after a 19 year break (Fibromyalgia and CFS, plus possible Hip Bursitis- I am in the ANS Rewire recovery program now). I am also wearing barefoot shoes (after years of trainers with orthotics due to the chronic foot pain), and ordered some Vivobarefoot trail running shoes. I am 53, post-menopausal, and now is my time to enjoy movement again.

[@lylachristopherson865]

I used to run like a horse with bad hooves. It was embarrassing. I had to train my feet and start over many times. Just keep going.

Dr Rangan thank you very much for your podcasts. They are ALL very interesting. Keep going and so by listening to you, all my stress and anxiety will finally vanish. Very best wishes from sunny Cyprus.

I took up jump rope instead of running in my 40s. Game changer for me. But whatever works for you just go for it !

Good to hear Kevin.

[@MrCav35]

As a runner I've totally loved this podcast. I've learnt so much from this. I always carry my phone in my hydro pack on my back. I've never understood how anyone can carry anything whilst running.

[@rustybolts8953]

Thanks Helen, for reminding me of all those fun times learning how to walk. Crawling was not fun. For one thing my head was too heavy to lift up all the time, so on several occasions I recall lifting my head to find myself heading in completely the wrong direction. Now it seems funny but it was not at-all at the time. Propping myself up using walls was a great help until the risk of falling on my face was diminished. In a sense the risk of falling on our faces never leaves us does it? Great video thanks again.

Thank you for this interview! *Your body is a beautiful instrument.* It is marvelous in what it can do. But its real value is determined by what it serves. If it serves a conflicted agenda of the mind, then the body will do destructive things to itself and to other bodies in the world around you. From: The Gift, by *Marshall Vian Summers* Health is vitality. It is *the vitality born of living a genuine life* -a life that is full of meaning and purpose, a life that has direction and a life that is meaningfully engaged with others and with the world. This produces a vitality, a will to live and a desire to contribute-a certain zest for life. From: *Living The Way of Knowledge* Chapter 4: *The Pillar of Health* by *Marshall Vian Summers*

[@rustybolts8953]

Midway through the video I am reminded of my days learning marshal arts and the philosophy of "No pain no gain" At age 70 I am still recovering form some of the injuries I self inflicted. About two years ago I learned that the brain loves fun. So rather than exercise, which I now hate. I am developing a methodology I call funersise. I get up every morning looking forward to my fun funersise session; rather than kidding my self that I don't hate exercise. Now I will also make sure I have my head right too.

[@donnam6099]

Thank you both for this wholehearted, honest content. I found the conversation moving, intelligent and inspirational - I see now that it is possible to make a commitment to regular walking and running and to not be deterred by long held limiting beliefs. The practical tips from Helen about how we consider the position of our head and to walk before running, was so enlightening 😊I so much look forward to session 2. Blessings 🙏

[@jenevorawilliams9058]

I really enjoyed listening to this conversation, I am a keen runner and also work in the area of rehabilitation. I was intrigued by the discussion of Rangan's marathon experience. This was refreshingly honest and heartfelt, but never once mentioned the psychological context of a race as a performance. The areas of biomechanics and environmental influences were explored in detail, was there a reason why you avoided the psychology of performance anxiety as a massive contributor to unexpected malfunction?

Right, walk BEFORE the run! So many insights and take-aways. Looking forward to Helen's videos and the learning. Thank you again for bringing the most amazing guests to your podcast. Also, what shorts do you both use for running... my thighs are in need of some good supportive shorts with side pockets 🙂

I remember when I stopped running as a child. It happened because I got taller and my bones and joints started aching when I ran. It no longer felt effortless as it did as a younger child. It's hard work hauling an adult sized, less flexible body around.

Breathtaking futile side-effects of emotional movement regained. Enjoyed it , respect 🙌

[@joycemiller1935]

Running should be joyful. I started running in the 1960's in Montreal walking up Mont Royal (mountain in mid city) and then joyfully run down for fun. Wearing Old sneakers and jeans with t- shirt. In the 70's I attended McGill Law School situated a half block from the mountain. Found it easy to destress by light jogging up and down the mountain. Had much joy and good endorphins. I never raced up or down to meet some goal but just went at the pace I felt. Then I watched running turn into a big multi billion dollar business, clothes, shoes, courses and books how to run and competitions. OH MY! In 1986 I gave up my joyful jog because all I saw were pained faces, blanked out on music, training for their 5 or 26 k race. Saw sports medicine become a big specialty. Yikes. I never had a milage goal to jogging. It depended on the time I had. If I have 40 minutes e.g. I jogged 20 minutes in one direction ad 20 minutes in the other direction. the distances would depend on the energy I had to run. The detailed analysis here is very sad to hear. Making running a head analysis rather than a natural movement.

I enjoyed you opening up about your journey in the London Marathon. It is truly intresting what comes up in the mind and body when you are running and the relief it brings many that suffer from addictions and mental health issues. A deep dive into how they started, what keeps them going, stories, pain endurance tips. I find runners absolutely fascinating. I have also been searching for more spiritual and tribal stories about running. Just keep up the brillant work and caring. You are doing a beautiful and amazing thing with your podcast! Be well.

[@rollomahon1046]

A child falls forward (the unbalanced phase) catches itself in its stability stage and repeats the process in flow to continue moving. The simplest way of understanding movement is that it is a balancing and unbalancing act utilising gravity. Posture is the bodies alignment to best balance and unbalance from. We have many postures but our primary movement pattern (posture) is gait, walking, running and sprinting. The different gears Helen talks about. Yes we squat, we lunge, we throw etc but we are most efficient at gait. We all have different posture (size and weight) but the common denominator is gravity. The people we stand up in awe to are the people who dance on this very fine line of balance and unbalance. Usain Bolt for example is the number one person in short distance running to be the most unbalanced whilst still keeping running posture over 100-200m. A child most probably dances this line even more as we hold out our arms in both awe and anticipating of a fall from posture.. the beauty in movement is the skill of utilising gravity. Forces increase and decrease and therefore your posture awareness (skill) is about utilising shorter and longer levers in your posture. The body naturally has this skill and it is about you and skilled observant coaches who can excel this skill. Thus on this journey injury will be a thing of the past and the joy of movement a liberation for the soul as you immerse yourself in its beauty in any movement that you pursue. Thus movement skill is your goal. Enjoy.

[@rpm1970pl]

Thank you! That was awesome conversation!

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

An observation about the humans having evolved and adapted to run for safety from the predators and in some cases even to secure food or procreate, (my wife ran away from home five time and I had to chase her back) is that human vertical posture prevents the abdominal viscera from assaulting the diaphragm as is the case with quadrupeds. Tribals exploit that fact to hunt wildebeests by running them to fatigue and attack when the exhausted quadruped pauses to rest. There are runners who can outrun horses and win a race against a horse due to that weakness of the quadrupeds where their diaphragms are under assault of their gut during their running. Wild cats try to minimize that by curling up prior to the leap whereby their hind limbs are in front of the forelimbs. Hoofed animals with big bellies cant do that. That works to the benefit of the predatorial cats to prey upon the hoofed beasts but that is a risky job even for them. Lions and tigers succeed no more than 1 in 20 in their chase of the prey. Humans really dont NEED to run to keep their cognitive function and cardiac performance in good shape. The KEY is to start early as in before entering the school and keep SPEED WALKING. The rule to remember is THE FASTER YOU WALK THE LONGER YOU LIVE !! forget extreme marathoning,that actually kills you fast

[@ManU-go8np]

What is the benefit of running over walking swiftly ?

[@saraht1367]

How do you overcome obliterated big toe joints (after years of dance, walking and running) in order to run again? Arthritic pain is still present despite head position and plenty of movement therapy

[@NiinaSKlove]

Interesting. I just listened to another podcast where the guy (I don't remember his profession, but he seemed to have quite a lot of knowledge about the subject) had the opposite opinion. He said that we were not supposed to run and that running was bad for you... Well, I am certainly no expert on the subject of running, that's for sure! I think that it must be nice to be able to run, as an exercise form.

children run in short bursts to mimic running from predators. Adults try run long distances and this is not natural. Surely walking long distances interposed with short bursts of running is the way to go?

This is why I still highly recommend getting yourself a Peloton bike. I am now 296 workouts in, no injuries for myself or my girlfriend. I'll have had my bike for 18 months now. I wouldn't mind a rowing machine next. Why NOT try cycling? Plus the British weather is terrible. Get yourself the bike Dr.

[@DrChatterjeeRangan]

I think cycling can be great, for sure. One of the main points of this conversation was that running has been my teacher - it has shown me where I have imbalances that I need to work on. Rather than seeing it as something to avoid, with Helen's guidance, it has helped me understand my body better. Glad to hear you are enjoying cycling so much!

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

In reality swimming is shown to be superior to running and peddling bike. I wrecked my knees running so now all I can do is swim. But there are not enough pools in the world to allow all humans to get their aerobics by swimming. SADLY, all this talk is wasted effort because be it swimming running or even a regular walking regimen is a LUXURY for the wealthy. The poor simply dont have time and the energy after their never ending commute to and back from the work to even think about any fitness routine. THEY HAVE NO TIME. REALLY.

[@D4902-q1r]

It's a very good point about removing judgement, anyone out doing exercise is helping themselves and society, becoming fitter and healthier leaves you less likely to become burdensome on the nhs for one thing. The more out of shape I see someone out exercising the more respect I have for them. We can all take inspiration every time we see someone out running or exercising, we should all cheerlead each other to it.
