The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 43 - Kelly Starrett - Mastering Mobility
Kelly is a physical fitness and CrossFit coach, mobility expert, author and speaker and is a genius when it comes to body mechanics.
Kelly has worked with some of the best athletes in the world, helping them become better athletes, train with less pain, and improve dexterity, flexibility and overall body health. Kelly has also worked with everyone from Obama to Joe Rogan. He is one of the most well-known pioneers of movement and body mechanics in our modern era.
We go about our day making unconscious movements which could be hurting our spine - from sitting in the wrong position to being on our phone, and even training incorrectly. We also all have lingering pain that we never really took care of, which could (and usually does) affect other parts of our bodies later down the road.
Kelly has a wealth of information; he is an encyclopedia on this subject, and there is so much to learn about body mechanics, that we had to do another episode!
We discussed the difference between pain and injury, sitting down and a sedentary lifestyle, how to deal with injuries, what are some common misconceptions in the fitness world, the importance of movement, the importance of sleep, and much much more.
The next episode will be released next week, stay tuned for many more questions, great insights, and Kelly's tips on how to improve mobility.
My Take - The more I learn and research, the more I realize I can do everyday things better. After listening to Kelly, I realize I have to work on my own movement and mobility, and have some changes to make. Don't be shy to take a new approach in life, if you see a better way of doing things, give it a shot.
