In this episode of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Jessie Salas from Foundation Training to explore how easily people can start out wanting to get fitter, stronger and healthier — only to accidentally specialise in a particular style of training.
We discuss bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit as sports in their own right, and why simply adopting one of those systems might not be the best approach if your real goal is to be a strong, healthy, capable human being.
We also get into:
Why your training should start with your actual goal
Bodybuilding vs powerlifting vs Olympic lifting vs CrossFit
Why chasing heavier numbers can eventually become counterproductive
Kettlebells, maces, clubs and other tools — and why the tool shouldn’t become the training philosophy
Why general health may require being more of a physical generalist
Corrective exercise vs training vs movement and play
Why adults need to move outside of structured workouts
How Foundation Training can complement strength and sports training
Sitting, posture, movement patterns and chronic aches and pains
The importance of rest, recovery and knowing when to back off
Why fitness tribes and training dogma can hold us back
Movement, nature and building a body that stays capable for life
Ultimately, Jessie’s message is simple: move your body, keep it simple, stay curious and find what makes you feel well.
