They are then joined by Mark Sisson, author, former distance runner and founder of the minimal shoe company Peluva. Mark, Katy and Jeannette talk about human evolutionary history, walking, health and Mark’s latest book Born to Walk. They discuss how running has become the iconic fitness activity but Mark explains how most people would be better served by abundant walking—combined with some strength training and a small amount of higher intensity exercise—to create a more nourishing and less physically stressful movement diet.  \n\nKaty also has a conversation with Karri Bowen-Poole, founder of Smart Playrooms and one of the Move Your DNA sponsors. Smart Playrooms offer equipment and design services for indoor play and activity spaces. Katy and Karri discuss the ethos behind Smart Playrooms, the design process and Karri offers her genius recommendations for equipment to add to every home. Katy and Karri explain how to plan flexible and adjustable spaces so that your movement and play areas stay interesting and grow with your family.\nEnhanced Show Notes & Full Transcript\n \nChapters: \n[00:07:07] - Dynamic Collective \n00:08:20 - Introducing Mark Sisson \n00:15:50 - Born to Run or Born to Walk? \n00:25:45 - Who is this book for? \n00:34:40 - The Obligate Runner and tips \n00:43:15 - Listener Question brought to you by Venn Design\n00:51:50 - Interview with Karri Bowen-Poole of Smart Playrooms \n\nBooks Mentioned:\nLandmarks by Robert Macfarlane\nBorn to Walk by Mark Sisson & Brad Kearns\nThe Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson\nBorn to Run by Mark McDougall\nI Know I Should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy Bowman\nConnect, Move & Learn\nJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored Glasses\nTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!\n\nMade Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors:\nVenn Design, beautiful floor cushions and ball seats that keep you...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U5WxhJlsGPWey1xfDiO0g7h2Z2IvcHpraZq7vVUBMGg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4MjA1LzE2NDQz/NDkzMjctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
