The Power Of Movement And Simple Exercises With Roger Frampton

We live in a fast-paced world with little to no time for even simple exercises. After a whole day’s worth of work, sitting still or lying down becomes the more appealing choice. It sounds convenient, not until you start experiencing unexplainable pains and aches. And this is where the power of movement comes in. 

In today's episode of Wisdom Wednesday, Roger Frampton joins Rosie to delve into the power of movement. Roger discusses the triggers that can urge people to reverse the mindset that prevents them from performing even simple exercises.

    Episode Highlights

    [02:35] Misconception on Movement

    • People often think they won’t have a lot of energy for simple exercises after a long day.

    • You might think you’re tired, but the truth is that your brain is mentally exhausted from concentrating all day.

    • Once you start moving, you’ll realize your body still has energy.

    [04:19] Reversing People’s Thoughts on Movement and Exercise

    • For Roger, writing books on the subject makes him accountable.

    • It's down to priorities and digging deep into why you must do it.

    • Experiencing pain is a big motivator for many people to switch their mindset on movement.

    • It takes some big event to wake us up. Listen to the full episode to learn what “big event” compelled Rosie’s father to improve his unhealthy lifestyle.  

    [8:38] Rosie: “A lot of us can relate to that in some way, shape, or form. Maybe it's not health — maybe it's other areas of our lives. But it seems like it always takes some big event to wake us up.” - Click Here to Tweet This

    [08:52] The Correlation of People’s Training and Who They are as a Person

    • Elderly people have two responses to triggers that urge them to move: it’s too late or it’s never too late.

    • How someone is as a person crosses over into their training.

    • Roger can usually tell someone's attitude and mindset when he meets them.

    • He attracts people who are on the same road as him.

    • It's hard to inspire someone unwilling to do the work; it won't stick.

    [10:17] Roger: “How people are as a person? That is going to cross over into your training. If you give up easily in life, you're not going to get that last repetition done or whatever.” - Click Here to Tweet This

    [14:22] Roger’s Motivation Behind Creating Wellness Content

    • He began posting Instagram content with him doing a headstand in a messy bedroom.

    • The importance of giving value and the concept of “ego” versus “we go” came up when he started working with an agent.

    • The post should not be about, “Look at what I’m doing,” but, “This is what I’m doing, and this is where you can begin.”

    • It’s in Roger’s nature to teach and to help. In this way, he’s also learning.

    • He's currently working with people aged 50 years old and above. He wants to scale simple exercises to make them more accessible.

    [23:47] Acceptance & Aging

    • Aging excites rather than distresses Rosie. Tune in to the full episode to hear about her thoughts on accepting aging!

    • Roger worked as a model for 15 years. When he started training, it was all about what he looked like rather than how he moved.

    • He embraces getting older because he wants people to take him more seriously than his experience during his mid-20s.

    • He’s excited to continue training until his 50s and make people say he has a point in what he teaches.

    • Younger people have to work harder if they want others to take them seriously.

    [29:56] Embracing the Beginner’s Mindset

    • There’s always something to learn if we approach everything from a beginner’s mindset.

    • Part of Roger’s exercise is learning. He films his training to keep an eye on himself.

    • It’s interesting to match what feels right to what visually looks right in exercise.

    • You can’t be a teacher if you’re not constantly learning. Otherwise, you’ll end up stagnant and teaching repetitive lessons.

    [30:54] Roger: “You can't be the teacher if you're not constantly learning, or you end up just teaching the same thing over and over again.” - Click Here to Tweet This

    • If you only use skills that you already know or are good at, you won't learn anything new or improve on your weak points.

    [32:00] Roger: “If you're always working on what you're good at, it means you're never working on what you suck at.” - Click Here to Tweet This

    [35:36] How Roger Feels Radically Loved

    • Roger feels radically loved as only good stuff happened in his life.
