Making Moves Podcast

The deep squat is a resting human position most adults have lost. When did you last sit all the way down, heels flat, ass to grass, resting at the bottom like it's a chair? In this episode Vanja covers what a deep squat asks of your ankles, knees, hips and spine, why sitting all day is the opposite position, how floor access and the sit-and-rise test predict how you age, and the step-by-step to rebuild your deep squat from wherever you're starting.

The way you look and feel in your body today is no accident. Your environment built it, and you allowed it. Most people fight with willpower and mindset while the room they live in trains them the other way every single day. In this episode I break down the three environments running your body without your permission: physical (your street, your kitchen, your stairs), social (the people whose standard you inherit), and technology (the feed that decides what feels normal before you're even awake). You don't rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your environment. Build the room, and the body follows.

The body teaching you to move has been broken in more places than I can count: chronic tendinitis, two frozen shoulders, disc issues, hip flexor strains, posture problems, ganglion cysts and nerve damage in my spine. Today it doesn't break. In this episode I go through every injury and the lesson it forced on me, and the pattern that runs through all of them: the conventional approach manages problems, movement done right removes them. Your body isn't fragile. It's waiting for you to learn its language.

Peter Corbett built a company from his apartment to tens of millions, sold it to a public company, and retired at 38. Then he spent nine months in hospice learning to soften the part of him that only knew how to push. In this conversation we get into the difference between working hard and suffering, why you were never built to regulate yourself alone, the heart as a muscle you can train, and the whiteboard moment where he wrote you are dying and a 300lb founder went on to lose 100 pounds. If you've been telling yourself you don't have time to fix your body or your mind, your room is on fire and you're refusing to put it out.Grab the Mobility Kit: https://movesmethodprogram.com/pod2627-kit-spApply to work with us 1:1: https://movesmethodprogram.com/pod2627-1on1-spFollow Vanja: https://www.instagram.com/vanja.moves/

Most people build a life and then try to squeeze a body into the leftover cracks. The job picks the city, the city picks the commute, the commute picks the schedule, and the body gets whatever's left. I did it backwards. My body comes first, and every other decision is downstream of that one. In this episode I open the whole system: five layers, the standard mistake at each, and a four-week sequence you can run inside a normal 9-to-5 with kids and a mortgage. The thing nobody wants to hear: you can't out-train your life. Your body adapts to how you live the other 23 hours, not the hour you train.
