Fitness Trainer Tim Maddox joins us to discuss a neglected aspect of hiking, tracking, trail running, picking up trash, care-taking a natural area, orienteering, and generally being outdoors: our own movement.

Tim shares his background and qualifications, and who and what has influenced him, then he discusses what "natural movement" and "MovNat" are. We then get into how to run, walk, and hike outdoors and on our forest trails. We talk technique, how to, progressions, training, starting from scratch, becoming a master, philosophy, and what you can do no matter your level of training and expertise. Valuable ideas and discussion for everyone who gets outside. Enjoy!

Sorry if the sound quality is not the best: I am not an audio expert.

About Tim: Tim is a MovNat Level II certified trainer and continuing learning workshop enthusiast. He enjoys ultra running and mindful movement practices.
