Rehab is harder than training - EP | 81

Show Notes

Training is often easier than working on mobility and movement.

Most people move like crap. We just accept that we will have low levels of pain, poor mobility, and that not being able to touch our toes is just how it is. But this couldn't be further from the truth.

All levels of training and movement are trainable, if you actually put the effort into them.

This episode went on a bit of a tangent where I talk about structural balance and programming.

I cover building a base level of Zone 2 training, and then having periods where you focus on body composition so that you are not always over consuming food.

The older I get, and the more conversations I have with my clients, the more important I realise it is for people to move and function well.

You need to train hard and constructively, but you also need to be healthy.

This episode dives into exactly how to make the above true.
