Putting the Fun Back Into Physical Activity With Phillip Elder The Stay Whole Podcast
go to original January 24, 2022

We are designed to move. We are designed to move freely, roam, walk, run, climb. The human body can move in so many different ways (just think of all the different events in the Olympics!). Many of us however have lost that connection with movement. Our modern sedentary lives have made us a slave to technology and convenience.

One person who has not lost this connection is coach, personal trainer and friend, Phillip Elder. I met Phillip when I first entered into the fitness industry during my time in Dubai. The self confessed "careful trainer", Phil has always paid a great attention to detail when it comes to technique inside and outside the gym. In this episode we talk about his journey into fitness and the environment that helped him to create the identity.

Now a father of two toddlers we go on to talk about how important it is to put the fun back into movement, particularly for the younger generation. He goes on to share some excellent ideas to keep children active and how he survived a strict lockdown in Dubai whilst suffering from COVID-19.

It was great catching up with Phil after so long. We left so much more on the table to discuss so I am sure there will be a part two around the corner...
