Episode 142 - “The human body is a wonderful instrument and it’s designed to move.” Casey Mainsbridge

In this podcast Casey Mainsbridge shares his journey with running and exercise in general.   For as long as he can remember he has loved the physical benefits of exercise but they’ve become secondary to the mental and emotional shift he gets from doing them.  He finds it great thinking time and a distraction from what ever life is throwing at you. 

For almost 20 years Casey has been a University lecturer teaching our future PE (Health and physical education) teachers as well as completing a Phd on what happens when people sitting at work were given a passive prompt to stand up and move.  One of the things that this experiment highlighted was that behaviour change is hard, it takes time and people need to make a conscience choice, however over time, with consistent exposure, things can become habitual (hopefully positive things)..  So Casey is now a Dr :)

Casey has taken this path in life because he wants to make a positive difference to the lives of everyone he comes into contact with!

This episode is full of insights from someone who has spent all his life to this point studying and practicing movement and the human body :)

Casey’s Tips - Start by going for a walk and doing small bursts of jogging, soft ground/grass is good, commit to “your why”, you want to start running.  And remember “thinking about something is often harder than doing it..” Casey Mainsbridge
