What if fitness was about more than just aesthetics? 

What if we viewed sport not just as a game, but as a transformative power in society, and training as a tool for resilience and durability? 

These are just a few of the themes and questions Kelly Starrett unpacks in this podcast.

In case you’re not familiar with Kelly, he’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy, renowned speaker, and a New York Times bestselling author, whose book Becoming a Supple Leopard made him into the biggest mobility guru in the world.

In our conversation, Kelly and I delve into . . .

  • The essential role of training for more than just aesthetics and how personal experiences led him to emphasize resilience and durability
  • The transformative power of sport in society and the dangers of early sports specialization in young athletes
  • The often undervalued psychoemotional components of coaching and the surprising sleep disruption side-effects of COVID-19
  • Debunking the sleep deprivation myth in successful people and advocating for a shift towards whole foods for improved performance and health
  • The vital importance of communal eating in fostering unity and its profound influence on team culture
  • The practicality and scalability of fitness practices, with a focus on creating daily routines that improve overall well-being
  • The alarming decline in outdoor activities among children and the potential health hazards of this trend
  • And more . . .

So, if you’re ready to elevate your health, durability, and longevity, don’t miss this conversation with Kelly Starrett!

The Case for Floundering and Quitting

Comparing yourself to other fitness folk is a sure way to feel lousy.  There’s always someone who looks better, lifts more weight, and has more of whatever you want. The deck is stacked. You can’t win. So turn your gaze inward instead, looking only at who you were, are, and hope to become. Everyone wants to tell you what to do, too–what to eat, what not to eat, what burns fat, what doesn’t, what’s evidence-based, what isn’t. But ultimately, whatever works for you is valid. Your fitness is yours. To explore. To evolve. To enjoy.  So don’t let anybody railroad you into a lifestyle that doesn’t serve you.
