I was doing my Podcast interview with Dan John yesterday, and we talked about one of his famous lines:

“If it’s important, do it everyday.”

While I’ve heard him say it (or write it) numerous times before, this was one of those light-bulb moments.

Ponder this….

Dan is a firm believer that you should be front squatting or Goblet squatting every day.  He believes the squatting motion is something we need to consistently work on.

I know for many of my clients who are in chronic pain, or who have severe postural issues, I tell them to do their foam rolling, dynamic stretching, and activation exercises every single day.

I remember a few years ago when I attended a Z-Health seminar that founder Eric Cobb talked about performing some Z every day, too.

To the end-user, the question becomes “Who is right?  Whom should I listen to?”

This is the inherent problem, though!

What ends up happening is you get so caught up in the medium, that you totally miss the message!

Instead of just picking one, they end up doing nothing.

I don’t care if it’s Goblet squats.

I don’t care if it’s foam rolling, dynamic stretching, and some activation exercises.

I don’t care if it’s Z-Health.

What we’re all saying is that you should get up and move around every single day!

Doesn’t that make it easier?

It’s not about right and wrong.  We all agree that movement is important, but how we get from A–>B differs slightly.  All you have to do then is figure out whose system fits you best from a philosophical perspective.  (And for what it’s worth, I’ve been implementing pieces and parts of all of the above into my daily routine.)

But please, don’t miss the message because of the medium.  Getting up and moving every single day is one of those simple things that can improve your body, your mind and your spirit.

Now, please take a moment to stand up and move around a bit!

Stay strong
