Episode 3607:
Eric Leija explains the difference between chronic and acute injuries and why poor mobility and durability raise the risk of both. He defines mobility as the ability to move freely and durability as the capacity of muscles, bones and joints to withstand load, noting that strength training and regular mobility work improve both together. He recommends opening each session with mobility exercises that target the muscles about to be trained, making it a habit that supports long-term fitness and safer lifting.

Quotes to ponder:
"Mobility is your ability to move freely and without restriction."
"Sometimes people with bad mobility may not even know they have it."
"But anyone who intends to lift weights for a long time or have a successful sports career needs to improve their mobility."
