"If you were limited to only five exercises for training other individuals, which would you pick and why?"

In this episode, we talk philosophy of movement selection by limiting ourselves to just five exercises to use for a lifetime of training. These are not just our favorites; they are the exercise movement patterns that are most impactful on anyone's health & fitness. This question offers a great opportunity for any fitness coach to demonstrate his or her decision-making philosophy. After about 35 minutes of our responses, you'll hear from some other coaches with their responses collected over years of training.

Selecting Only Five Movements for the Lifetime of Your Training is available in a handy document here.
