In this inspiring episode, John Sinclair discusses the concept of "microdosing movement"—breaking down exercise into small, accessible, and purposeful doses tailored to individual lifestyles and needs. He explains how his company, Seven Movements, helps people improve function through seven-minute daily movement "snacks," especially for those who find traditional fitness environments or 60-minute sessions inaccessible. John challenges conventional fitness programming, advocating for personalized, low-barrier approaches that prioritize well-being and function over aesthetics. By reframing movement as adult recess and tying it to purpose, it fosters a healthier lifestyle, ultimately aiming to make fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

You’ll learn about:

Microdosing movements can significantly improve health outcomes.

Traditional fitness programming often overlooks individual needs: the industry must evolve to be more inclusive and supportive.

Self-selection in exercise leads to better adherence and results.

Corporate culture can greatly influence employee health and wellness: “recess” for adults can enhance productivity and well-being.

Fitness professionals need to empathize with clients' challenges.
