Summary

If you've been following Muscle Building Month in our MI community, you'll know that the foundation of muscle growth is correct posture and structural alignment.  To help YOU optimize your posture, I interviewed Annette Verpillot, a globally-recognized posturologist.

Annette created the Posturepro Method, which has gained global recognition for eliminating chronic pain, increasing strength, and improving sports proficiency.  Annette actively works with professional athletes, trainers, practitioners, and researchers to develop solutions to tackle human mobility issues around the world.

In today's episode, Annette walks us through three main facets of stability, and how each is connected to the nervous system and performance.  Annette offers action items to immediately assess your own posture, and to begin to cultivate postural balance with exercises that can be done in just minutes.

You'll learn:

  • How to balance your nervous system.
  • Why posture SO heavily impacts your performance.
  • What it means to age gracefully (and how to prevent injury).
  • Why getting stronger makes alignment MORE important.

Welcome to Muscle Enthalysis podcast.

0:10.5

We are in Muscle Building Month, and today's guest, Annette Verpilo, our returning guest is an international recognized posturologist.

0:18.5

Posturology focuses on aligning the posture. If you listen to the first podcast

0:23.5

I put out this month, posture is a massive part of performance. If your posture is misaligned,

0:29.4

your ability to train at a high level will be dysfunctional. Will be, will be limited, let's say.

0:35.1

So imagine driving a car like you have a Lamborghini and your wheel

0:39.1

alignment is off. The likely to be driving that car fast is, well, certainly not a good idea,

0:45.9

we'll say. So Annette and I today discuss ultimately the three main facets of stability and how each is ultimately connected through the nervous

0:56.5

system and how these are so massively influencing performance.

1:00.4

And we say performance, it's not just physical performance.

1:03.9

It's also mental performance.

1:05.2

It's also our ability to recover.

1:07.2

So when your nervous system is, let's say, misaligned at the level of the body, so your body, your posture is misaligned.

1:15.3

The nervous system isn't allowed to flow.

1:17.1

It's not allowed to do what it's meant to do.

1:18.7

So it always stays on slightly elevated levels of alert.

1:22.5

So Annette offers some amazing, incredible action items to immediately assess your own posture and begin to cultivate

1:28.2

a postural balance with exercise that can be done in just literally minutes a day.

1:32.6

We kept this episode super short, so it's super actionable for you guys.

1:36.3

And at the base of muscle building performance and simply getting to the best shape of your

1:39.4

life lies this equilibrium of posture and the nervous system.

1:43.4

So thank you to Annette for being here.
