Learning the Language of Movement

30m · Move to Live®More · 23 Jan 05:00

An interview with Ashley Hunter, Founder and Executive Director at the Fit Kids Foundation.


But all kids, all people need to move and have that physical literacy for their lives. And when you help young kids, young people, learn those movements, learn to love being active, learn that it feels really good on your body and your mind when you move your body. They grow into adults who feel the same way and continue those behaviors. It's sort of like learning a language.

Spreading Awareness of How Motion Impacts Emotion

An interview with Dr. Adel Korkor, Founder and CEO of the AB Korkor Foundation for Mental Health.

It's because we are really accustomed to caring for disease, the diabetes, the hypertension, obesity, and all of these. And our healthcare system is really more centric around finding a new treatment for obesity, finding a new drug for diabetes, finding a new drug for hypertension, and not realizing why can’t we get to the root of a problem. Why can't we get back and say okay, you know what, dedicating 15, 20, 30 minutes of physical activity a day can spare us so much more.

Changing the Culture of Youth Sports with Positive Coaching Experiences

An interview with Jason Sacks, President at Positive Coaching Alliance.

And so I think we need to get organizations to understand and then more specifically, to be able to hold their coaches accountable of what is this culture that you want to create that's going to provide the best possible environment for kids. And in order for kids to feel connected, they need to feel safe, they need to feel seen, heard and valued when they come to that, that practice, that game, whatever it might be.

Health & Fitness Industry Advocacy and Innovation

An interview with Adam Zeitsiff, Chair of the National Health & Fitness Alliance.


This is a great chance for our industry folks and gyms to go out there and build partnerships and get a continual referral stream that has nothing to do with health insurance, co-pays and CPT codes. Just, hey, my doctor just prescribed this to me. He said I should really be lifting weights three or four days a week. How can you help? There’s another customer.

Making the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Accessible with Move Your Way®

An interview with Malorie Polster, Physical Activity Advisor, and Katie Costello, ORISE Health Communications Fellow, at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.


We've generally found that the main messages of Move Your Way, really promoting the social components of being active. People really do want to get active with their friends, with their family, they don't like to do it alone. And helping people find ways to be active that are really enjoyable or fit well into their lifestyles really do resonate across all of those audiences.

Reaching Across Silos to Increase Global Physical Activity Levels

An interview with Emma Zwiebler, Interim CEO at the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry.


But one of the key things for our work, particularly around physical activity, is the partnerships that we have. We very much believe that particularly in the case of physical inactivity levels globally, which I'm sure we'll come on to, it's not something that can be resolved by the industry alone. It can't be resolved by governments alone or by policymakers or NGOs. We have to find a way in which we can work together if we are to transform behavior on a global level.
