Summary

How well do you move? How often do you move? Despite plenty of sagitial plane movement through swimming, biking, and running, triathletes are often deficient in other movement patterns. On today's episode, Dr. B.J. Leeper returns to the podcast to discuss the importance of moving often and incorporating a variety of movements. Listen in to explore squatting, balancing, rolling, breathing, and so much more! Moving well is an essential part to your triathlon performance. Learn how you may be currently leaving performance gains on the table and how to move into your true potential. We are thrilled to have sailfish as the swim partner of TriDot Training.
