What are some simple ways to incorporate neuroscience into your training? In this episode, I speak with my trusty podcast producer, Tony, about some of the simplest and highest payoff neuroscience-based exercises and techniques to improve your performance and quality of life. I discuss the concept of 'clarifying the map' and how drills that target the different systems in the neural hierarchy can solve pain and mobility problems and unlock performance gains that most people from athletes to everyday fitness enthusiasts are leaving on the table. I give examples of specific drills that target the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems, discuss how speed is an underrated variable in training, explain why hinge joints like knees and elbows still benefit from rotational training, and underscore the importance of fuel in training, pain-management, and performance. I also discuss the difference between 'balance' and 'stability' training, why visual training is so resource-intensive, and how training the visual system can actually change your eyeglasses prescription. This episode is full of actionable tips and discussion that you can use immediately to train your brain to be better equipped to make you move and feel better in all aspects of life.
