Chris & Ben discuss all the reasons why you should prioritize your warm up. And how to approach a warm up if you are short on time or have some extra time. They lay out a guideline for what should be included in your warm up and how to best maximize the time based on what you need and how to make the warm up task specific. 

Have you ever hit a plateau with your fitness or performance goals? Or how about constant aches, pains, or discomfort- struggling with any of them?  In a world of quick-fixes, gadgets, and side- effects-galore antidotes, most have never stopped to think that they may have dismissed the most prominent contributor- their movement.

The truth is, most of us don't know how to move anymore.  And that's why Pete is here- to help you move with purpose and move as optimally as possible.  Pete breaks down the science behind movement so that it’s easy to understand, and is an expert at providing  "tangible takeaways" so you can apply the knowledge the right way, so you can avoid preventable issues and achieve the results you want.

Pete discusses why he decided to start this podcast and shares some personal events that catapulted him into this realm.  He shares some startling statistics about health and movement in America but encourages you to embrace the "movement mindset".

Jump in and start moving!
