  • Everything you need to learn about movement in one place

    The Bodcast will change the way you think about movement and fitness. The over-arching theme of respect and reverence for our body’s ability resurrect old strength while building new is inspiring to say the least. The diversity of information presented here will leave you believing in your body, your movement practice and your goals no matter your age, injury or setbacks.The future just gets brighter and brighter when you listen to (and implement what you learn on )the Bodcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BodCast Episode 236: Weight, Time, Distance and Magic Number Combinations
Q: What is a good balance between load and time?
The balance isn't a universal number; pick one variable to advance at a time (for example, distance with a fixed weight), push that variable until you hit meaningful progress, then reassess and possibly shift to a heavier weight or a new variable, all while maintaining good form and safety.
BodCast Episode 232: Sissy Squats, The Big Toe, and TMJ
Q: What are the best versions of rocking or rolling to find a big toe-glute connection, and is there a relieved approach for TMJ involving head nods and eye movement?
For the big toe, rocking with the heels turned inward and dorsiflexion helps load the big toe and mobilize it; Lego rocking with the knee dropping under the torso is another effective mobility drill. For TMJ, use the lion's jaw to release jaw tension first, then perform eye and head nods with the jaw relaxed and tongue on the roof of the mouth to rewire nervous system patterns.
BodCast Episode 232: Sissy Squats, The Big Toe, and TMJ
Q: The first question is, I've been doing Hindu squats and I have found that I prefer doing them with my legs parallel and pointing forward rather than legs wide like a normal squat. Is this okay to do? Is there any difference or disadvantage?
Yes, it is completely okay for your legs to be close together and parallel, and Hindu squats are typically done with that narrow stance; it can feel more intuitive for some people and may align with how their body moves best.
BodCast Episode 231: Strength Q & A with 80,000 People
Q: I am getting ready to get fit again after a long break, at 55, and I want one program that can cover daily mobility, kettlebell work, and a mix of bodyweight and weightlifting like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses. How should I structure this to stay lean, strong, and capable over the long term?
Start with a daily 10-minute mobility/movement routine to build a solid reflexive foundation, then pair two days of traditional strength training (deadlifts, squats, bench press) with two days of calisthenics (dips, chin-ups, L-sits) and kettlebell work on those same days. Add at least two days for movement exploration (hiking, rucking, cycling) and keep a flexible, repeatable schedule so progress remains sustainable and enjoyable.
BodCast Episode 227: The Wonders of Kava with Morgan Smith
Q: What should someone look for when buying kava?
Look for products sourced directly from Pacific Island farmers with lab-tested results you can view; avoid brands with broad catalogues of herbs, and prioritize suppliers who are transparent about lab data to ensure safety and authenticity.
