You might need some Action Pants.

Do you need action pants? | Meredith Rhodes Carson, PhD, HHC | Forward Health Coach.I am about to suggest something that could make all of the difference for you.

You might need to change your clothes. :)

I don’t judge of course, my son wears the same thing nearly everyday.

He calls his pants, ‘Action Pants’. I love that.

He’s 8, and he is aiming to be a black belt in karate. He’s well on his way too. He’s a purple blue belt now. >>>

So, what are ‘action pants’? They are pants that you can move in. 

Even more – they are pants that allow you to move. 

I can’t get this guy to even consider jeans. His sister is the same way.

I can appreciate this more and more everyday. I mean, when you squeeze into a pair of jeans, you are limiting what your body can do naturally. Even if, or especially if, you have a pair of those über stretchy jeans.

How likely are you to sit on the ground if you’re in jeans? How likely are you to squat down to do anything? Hell, I’ve got jeans that are nearly threadbare in the knees… any more attempted squats and I’ll hulk out of them.

You are literally shaped by the pants that you wear. Seriously. Ever taken off your pants to see… the imprint of your pants? I bet so.

This is all to say that what you choose to put on your body on a daily basis influences the possibility of your movement. It also influences the movement of the life-giving fluids in that body of yours. In the words of Katy Bowman:

You are a body full of tubes, tubes with important jobs. When you push on a tube, the fluid inside of it has to move elsewhere and the flow through the tube changes.’

Friend, your pants could be influencing your digestion. True story.

If you want to increase all of the natural movements in your body and life… both inside and out, consider the influence of the clothes that you wear on a daily basis. Restrictive clothing is restrictive.

Now go don your action pants.
