In today's episode, I cover five of the most common myths and misconceptions I commonly see and hear out there when it come to movement, mobility and training in general. Personally, I used to believe some of these myths to be true myself for a very long time, which resulted in me putting limitations on what I thought was safe and unsafe for my body and training. But now that I know why these simply aren't true, and the reasons behind why these misconceptions are so widely believed, my body is more robust and mobile than ever. I hope that by sharing these myths with you, that you too can break through any self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back from moving with freedom and confidence.

The 5 myths/misconceptions discussed are:

1. Bending your spine is dangerous
2. Your glutes aren't firing/are asleep
3. Knees over toes is dangerous
4. Running on the road is bad for you
5. Foam rolling will improve your mobility and ROM

Key Points

• There are no movements that are inherently dangerous to the human body, there is only a body that is not prepared for movement.
• The environment you expose your body to on a regular basis will dictate your ability to move.
• Your spine has 33 vertebrae, and should 24 of these be able to move relative to each other.
• The evolutionary purpose of a joint is to facilitate movement.
• If you cannot access full extension of your hip joint, then you cannot access the full power of your glutes.
• When running, the ground is as hard as your interaction with it.
• Passive inputs to the body, lead to passive outputs from the body. Active inputs to the body lead to active outputs from the body.
