But how is that possible if you work a conventional 9–5 office job?\nJoin biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram as they walk through a typical day for an office worker, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., looking at ways to find more movement both during and beyond the workday. They share practical ideas for building movement into how you get dressed, shower, eat, commute, work, do chores, relax and spend time with family and friends — without needing to carve out more hours for exercise.\nAt 9 a.m., Katy is joined by Sohail Shariff, co-founder of Movemate, to explore how to bring more movement into your workstation while staying productive. They discuss why simply switching from sitting to standing isn't necessarily the answer, and how varying your position is both “cyclical movement” and “cyclical rest,” allowing different parts of the body to take turns being moved and loaded. Your low back will thank you!\nKaty and Jeannette also discuss getting away from your workstation to move and tackle a common concern: won't taking movement breaks make me less productive? Katy suggests that stepping away can actually support productivity and shares some of her own “tells” that she's no longer doing focused work — like jumping between tasks — explaining how recognising these moments can become a cue to move and then return to the task refreshed.\nWhether you're tied to a desk for 8 hours or simply spend too much of your day sitting, this episode offers practical ways to find more movement throughout the whole day.\n\nEnhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript\n00:00:00 – Getting more movement when you have an office job\n00:03:43 – Dynamic Collective sponsors\n00:06:15 – Start with the most flexible hours of your day: moving more outside work hours\n00:06:58 – 6am to 9am: opportunities for movement in how you shower, eat breakfast and commute\n00:15:50 – 9am: dynamic...","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}
