I’ve studied and taught movement for more than 25 years. When people learn that about me, they always ask something like, “What’s the best exercise?” or “What three exercises should I be doing daily?” or “What exercises can fix my _________ problem?”The answer is never simple, because it depends on the answers to a lot of other questions, such as:What types of activities are you doing now, and for how long?

Explore your own community through the eyes of a tourist. Check out museums, parks, or other local landmarks that you’ve wondered about but never visited. Go to a local ethnic market or restaurant and sample some new-to-you foods. Take a daylong walk without a destination. See what you find. Sign up for a language class at a community center. Join a conversation group to practice. Invite friends over to cook Chinese, French, or Indian food, and watch a subtitled film from that country.
