If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go.

MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND with your hosts.

Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews.

In this episode of Mind Pump, we talk about fitness assessments and why they are essential for everyone.

Assessment is what's going to give you your map to get to your goal.

You know where to go, where not to go, what exercises to apply, and which ones to avoid.

Without a good assessment, you not only will not progress nearly as fast as you could,

but your risk of injury goes through the roof.

In this episode, we talk about assessments.

We talk about our favorite three movement assessments that address the entire body.

We talk about exercises that you can do to fix your movement patterns.

If you can't do these assessments, by the way, because we talk a lot about specific exercises and movements in this episode,

we are making sure to attach links to videos for most of these movements and exercises in our show notes,

which you can get at mindpumppodcast.com.

So when you go to mindpumppodcast.com, it lists all of our episodes,

and it lists show notes, so you can watch videos.

So if you hear us talking about, for example, in the episode, we talk about what's called a windmill test,

and we explain it and you're thinking, I don't really need to see what that looks like.

Go to the Mind Pump Podcast.com website.

Look at the show notes. They'll be a link where you'll see one of us explaining it on video on how to do it.

Now, if you're a trainer, you definitely should pay attention to this episode.

If you're not doing an assessment for your clients, you're doing them a huge disservice.
