1. Movement Skill / Mobility - 9 Pillars of Fitness
100 Year Athlete
Movement Skill / Mobility: What it is: The ability of your joints to move in ways required by your sport. Why it matters: If you lack mobility, you’ll make compromises in technique that lead to pain, injury, or poor performance. Blind spots: Being “fit” doesn’t matter if you blow your ACL on day #2 of skiing in November due to a lack of knee and hip mobility. Because mobility training doesn’t involve sweat and endorphin highs, mountain athletes tend to overlook it. No matter your age or injury history, you can make improvements in mobility,...

Roar Chapter 5 - Weighty Matters
100 Year Athlete

Focus on gaining muscle mass, which will make it easier to lose body fat—and help you stay active as you age. And whatever you do, ladies, do not fast! For more on all that, check out the latest episode of the 100 Year Athlete podcast. Quotes: “Creating an...
