Maintaining Physical Health: The Importance of Mobility Exercises and Proper Training Techniques

As physical workers, builders are no strangers to sore muscles and aching joints, but the impact of these injuries can go beyond just physical pain. It can affect decision-making and emotional well-being, having a ripple effect on the entire business and an individual's life. There is a need to see the importance of body awareness, proper lifting techniques, and recovery and preparation methods to prevent injuries and maintain body health.

In this episode of the ToolShed podcast, Mick Hawes interviews Guy Onley, founder of The Onsite Coach, an expert in powerlifting and coaching strong men to take care of their physical health. With years of experience in the fitness industry, Guy understands the physical toll pain can take on an individual's productivity, emotions, and decision-making abilities. As a powerlifter himself, Guy has a unique perspective on how to help builders and other physically demanding workers stay in top shape and avoid common injuries like back pain. Guy will share his journey into powerlifting and coaching and the importance of self-care in maintaining a successful business.
