The ‘Movers List’
04 September 2019
We’re very proud to share news that our founder Dan Edwardes is featured in the UK’s first ‘Movers List’; celebrating the people who get other people moving has been released today, recognising 50 individuals whose volunteering, charity work or dedication to sport and exercise inspires local communities to move more.
The list, compiled by Lucozade Sport and judged by sports experts and stars including heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua and England Lioness footballer Nikita Parris, highlights individuals who are most influential in getting the UK to be more active. Featured at number 13, Dan Edwardes founded Parkour Generations in 2005, which is now the leading authority on parkour education. PKGen has become a multi-national organisation that runs coaching certifications, school programmes, workshops and major events in more than 45 countries around the world; engaging new communities to get active and seek better ways of moving for health and wellbeing, both mental and physical.
The Movers List is released alongside new research from Lucozade Sport that shows 75 per cent of people have made a conscious effort to exercise more regularly and for longer in the past year. 73 per cent say their motivation to move more is to keep physically fit and 58 per cent say they undertake sport and exercise to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

In Part 3 we’re focusing on the shoulder girdle, which will encompass issues of the shoulders themselves, the scapular, neck and upper limbs. Modern living sees us often in kyphotic positions for hours at a time; bent over desks, steering wheels and mobile phone screens. Add to this that most of us don’t know how to breathe properly and are therefore elevating the traps around 20,000 times per day and it’s no wonder that our shoulders get tight and blocked up. Here’s where we fix things!
