Move to Live®More

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.

An interview with Dr. Jonathan Bonnet, an Obesity and Lifestyle Medicine Physician at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs

Another really important point with any of the anti-obesity drugs that we're talking about nowadays, within the package insert, it tells you it should only be prescribed along with diet and exercise or increased physical activity and reduced caloric consumption. So it makes it explicit that it's actually inappropriate to give them without those things.

An interview with Kathleen Tullie, CEO & Founder at Active Kids Active Minds.

If you are a concerned mom, it is just in your DNA, you will fight to the end to make sure that your child gets what they need. And nobody understands that until they're a mom. And so I think people just started to see that their kids, their kids that had social issues or academic issues or couldn't sleep, that all of a sudden, little Johnny or Jennifer could go run around on the playground, and they were calmer at school and their anxiety was less and their teacher was reporting they could focus on a problem. And we have really engineered physical activity out of our lifestyles. But our brain doesn't know that. And our body doesn't know that. So, I feel like it's going to have to be parents, caregivers, moms and dads that bring back physical activity to kids.

An interview with Dr. Renee Rogers, Senior Scientist, University of Kansas Medical Center.

So I think a big, really important first step is to talk to the patient on the medication currently that you're working with to say, I want to know when something changes. If your dose changes, if you start to experience more side effects, I can't directly change any of that that you're going through, but I want you to be able to communicate those things with me because I have the ability to change your program to reflect that.

An interview with Brendan Sullivan, CEO & Founder at ZAMA Health

So much of your ability to perform at a high level, whether you're in the fitness community or whether you're an athlete, really comes down to your ability to overcome mental challenges. And some of these are clinical in nature, they can be things from depression or anxiety, but a lot of them are more of like these life stressor events that, if not addressed, do become clinical issues, but still play a role in impacting kind of your ability to work out consistently and perform at this level.

An interview with Clare McSweeney, CEO & Founder at Kuul Play

And when we talk about physical literacy development, really, there's no endpoint or no destination, there's no top score in it, which is quite different to most things in education. So your physical literacy journey is continued throughout life, it's over the life course and you can continually improve.

An interview with John Engh, Executive Director of the National Alliance for Youth Sports.

So that's kind of our job is to educate them. Let the parents understand who they're dealing with. Let the coach understand what the parents’ expectations are so that when you do start to coach you can actually do the coaching and have a, have a great experience. And of course make it the best that it possibly can for the kids. So I think that's what's so appealing about what we do.

An interview with Dr. Peter Katzmarzyk, Professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University.

In terms of the actual infrastructure for physical activity, we do fairly well when we're stacked up against other countries. However, where we kind of fall down is on the actual behaviors themselves. So when we actually measure physical activity in the children or sedentary behavior, active transportation, it becomes apparent that we're not taking advantage of that physical activity infrastructure. And we're not really maximizing those opportunities.

So yes, we have that broad perspective that we feel as a medically integrated fitness center that's our role is to try to help people of all ages of all conditions, and to find strategies to reach out beyond our doors to people that are out there that would never join a facility or they can't. How can we get them moving?
