Summary

In this episode, Sal, Adam and Justin discuss the debate among fitness experts regarding the importance of mobility and go over seven foundational movements that every human should be able to perform.

  • How mobility is a balance between flexibility, strength, stability and recruitment patterns. (38:22)
  • The benefits of full ranges of motion to build a better functioning body. (43:00)
  • Why going extreme on either side is unhealthy and gets you nowhere. (44:50)
