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

    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

    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.

    Healthy Aging Tips from the "Father of Aerobics"

    Healthy Aging Tips from the "Father of Aerobics"

    An interview with Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Founder of The Cooper Institute and Founder and Chairman at the Cooper Aerobics Center.

    I've had hundreds of letters from people telling me I wish I'd known 20 years ago how much better I could feel. But once I got in shape and followed your recommendations, I felt the best I've ever felt in my life. Do you want to enjoy that type of life you're now maximizing your feelings and feeling good, you're not depressed, you're enthusiastic.

    Dr. Cooper advocates the following aerobic-strength training balance:
    If you’re 40 years old or younger, devote 80 percent of your workout time to aerobic training and 20 percent to strength training.If you’re 41 to 50 years old, shift to 70 percent aerobic and 30 percent strength work.If you’re 51 to 60, do 60 percent aerobic exercise and 40 percent strength training.After you pass 60, divide your workout time more evenly between the two strategies – while still giving an edge to aerobic exercise, which provides the most health benefits: 55 percent aerobic work and 45 percent strength work.

    Movement as a Foundation for Health Education

    Movement as a Foundation for Health Education

    An interview with Dr. Tyler Spencer, Founder and Executive Director at Grassroots Health.

    Yes, physical activity is an absolute core component of every single element of the curriculum. And you're exactly right, physical activity for many students is a hook to be, to want to be involved, to have fun, to engage with the curriculum. Physical activity, I think probably for the audience of this podcast, is also a method for helping students retain the information. It's also helpful for keeping students focused throughout the school day, being able to move their bodies.

    Motivating People to Move for Immediate Mental Health Benefits

    An interview with Dr. Karlie Intlekofer, Co-Founder at Treo Wellness and Global Wellness Researcher at Matrix Fitness

    And I should mention for anyone who's interested in longevity, it's like people talk about the fountain of youth.  And it's like movement is so central to that you really can't live your best life in terms of well-being or brain function or any of the above in a body that is sedentary.

    Creating Athletes for Life with a Child-First Youth Sports System

    Creating Athletes for Life with a Child-First Youth Sports System

    An interview with Tom Farrey, Founder and Executive Director of the Sports & Society Program at The Aspen Institute.

    And that led to me wanting to solve the problems that were identified in the book.  Specifically, how can we be the world's sports superpower while still only, we know, one out of every four or five kids are actually physically active enough. I mean, what was the disconnect with our system? So I had all of this knowledge, all of these insights around policies and sports structure and governance and parent matters, and physiology and on and on and on, and I was like, look, I got to do something with this, someone's got to build a better sport system.

Physical inactivity and chronic disease

Amy Bantham’s podcasts have at least one thing in common: they invariably touch on what makes us human. So many of the ideas presented touch on simple ways we can fill our days with life and fitness. These are not concepts available only to a select few- they are available to all- right there- usually just outside the door.
I look forward to hearing more knowing that by working together, change for the better must be near.

Amy brings expertise, connections and real-world solutions together.
