    Most elderly people don&apos;t spend any time on the ground. &nbsp; Do yoga, play with the dog or a child. &nbsp;Sitting on the floor and being able to get up is key.<br>The more you get on the ground and play games or stretch the better. You want to be able to get up off the floor. <br>You don&apos;t want to be in the commercial for the first alert. &quot;I&apos;ve fallen and can&apos;t get up.&quot;

    I have had a &quot;desk job&quot; for the last 5 years and fortunate to work from home so I don&apos;t have to commute, but I have made it priority to try and move throughout the day as much as possible. I average 18k steps a day between dog walks, leisure walks, and walking treadmill. If you work from home, to me there are no excuses. I am so proud to say that I have a &quot;walking treadmill job&quot;..Based off my garmin, I probably average 8-10 miles a day on my feet and feels freakin awesome. Add on some bike cardio, some trail running and 3-5x a week of strength training. I will tell you it&apos;s pretty impossible gain weight, mentally feel awesome outside of life/work stress and I love knowing that if I have the choice to sit and watch TV or go for an extra walk in nature, after building these habits 9/10 I will choose to take the extra walk, because I literally hate sitting.

    one thing I recently found to add to my routine is Bear Crawls. So good for shoulders and hips. I especially like to bear crawl backwards because it targets an old shoulder injury.

    Moving a lot more during my workday while listening to this. I just need Drs. Starrett and Patrick to yell at me throughout the day when I&apos;m glued to the desk haha

    I wish that when I was learning PT (as we used to call it) we had a person such as Dr Starret to teach me as a kid about these things. Instead, &quot;games&quot; and gym time was made into a horror by a games teacher at my middle school who was a bully (and should probably have been fired); it was not until my mid-teens that I started to learn from better, &nbsp;more benevolent, people (I got into judo, racket sports and swimming). Schools should also fit this alongside teaching what we used to call &quot;home economics&quot; - how to cook, store food, understand diet, etc. Just as kids need to learn compound interest and how to manage money. <br><br>These episodes are awesome because there&apos;s so much actionable intelligence here.

    After sitting for 2 hrs listening to this, I couldn&apos;t handle it anymore so I paused it and did a 25 minute tabata before returning to the conversation.
