In this episode the guys break down what mobility actually is (hint: it's not stretching!) How to know where you may need to improve your mobility, the important relationship between joint mobility and core stability and give action steps to improving your mobility. They also talk about why achy, tight & stiff joints doesn't always mean you're lacking mobility and how desk bound professionals can improve their pain associated with sitting (causing a lack of mobility.)

In this quick, 15 minute episode the guys break down all things Mobility (without going too far into the science weeds.) They break down what mobility is versus stretching, how a balance of stability and mobility is critical for avoiding pain and stiffness, and why being stiff, tight and achy doesn't always mean your muscles are tight.  They cap off with (as always) practical and actionable advice to increase your personal mobility for the activities you love.

Nutrition Fables are just as big a tradition as your favorite Fairy Tales. Unfortunatley for you this is because food companies are some of the biggest super marketing ninjas known to humankind. They'll do anything to get you to buy their "No-Fat Potato Chips" (wait potatoes don't have fat to begin with?) to get you to Go Keto (yay Brain Fog!) or to eat just 800 calories a day (...i didn't have anything to do this week anyway...)
