Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Podcast

Become UNBREAKABLE with easy strength


Listen Later

This week I'm re-visiting a topic shared back in November 2021. In recent weeks I've been talking a lot about the benefits of mobility and strength and in this episode, I outline why mobility and strength play such a key role in human and athletic performance. I also have a few tips on how you can incorporate both into what probably feels like an already packed schedule.

Specific topics covered include:

  • How to avoid being an active couch potato
  • The importance of daily movement practice once you hit 40 and beyond
  • Simple options for busy people (TIP: it’s not that hard to find time)
  • How improved mobility can lead to faster times in the pool
  • Strength training to build resilience and better consistency with your swim, bike, and run training
  • Key benefits of a year-round strength programme
  • How to build strength in less than 60 minutes each week
  • Other podcasts on mobility:

    Kelly Starrett - 'How to be in the ready state

    Louisa Holmes (a.k.a The White Witch) - 'How to bulletproof your body'

    Sarah J Pitts

    Shane Benzie - ‘Better movement equals better running'
